It's a very nice airplane though and was built by a friend of mine here in Houston. Top speed is 3 knots, but there is some static port error so I can't be completely confident in the numbers.
Hahaha. Repairman cert or not, it's good to give your kids "a taste" early. Could prove to expensive for you later though.. Nice!

Default Fun times

It was pretty funny looking trying to get the nose gear to compress the elastomers so we could get the bolt through. Didnt have any ratcheting straps handy so we had someone hanging on the engine mount while I was lifting up on the tail and Brandi slid the bolt in.

Default Good Job B & B!

Brandi and Brian,

I am watching your progress as well (and your webpage). My project isn't coming along as fast as yours, but then again, I didn't have a head start. Congrats. Keep up the good work (and posts).
