    Default New Kid On The Block

    Hey Everyone,

    A couple months ago my Grandpa and I ordered the EX kit. Mitch was awesome to work with even though I bugged him daily. The crate showed up the other day, everything was packaged extremely well. I was impressed with every box I opened not only in the packaging but the parts are very well made. Cant wait to start building! Just thought I would introduce myself!

    Congratulations. You will really enjoy the build process, and the quality of all the parts. I just started on the fuselage on my kit last week.

    Regards,
    Tony

    Congratulations Chris! What a great project to work on with your grandpa. I ordered mine at Sun 'n Fun and Mitch didn't wait more than day or so to contact me and send out assembly manuals. This CC team and their EX product is head and shoulders above any other kit that I've looked at...and I've spent several months looking, leading up to my trip to Florida to make a decision.
    I don't have my grampa around to help with the build but I do have three sons that will pitch in. Bonus is my wife will be helping with covering! We'll have to stay in touch, you, Tony and I, being as we're getting started roughly the same time.

    WOW. You are really moving along quickly. I only have weekends to work on mine. I started the boot cowl last weekend, and should start covering everything in the next couple of weeks. Tony

    Update-

    We covered the fuselage and are ready to bring it to the spray booth, we had a month or two where we didn't work on it much because we moved hangars and had to insulate it, put in a ceiling and all the electrical, a heater, put real walls up and paint! We have much more room now. 485114_10151311932645708_464811485_n.jpg
