Mike- There is a lot of support out there to be found to help you with your project. The connections you can make over the web and through this network are amazing. By working your way through the tail and then the wings you will gain the skills and confidence to make it all happen. Have fun. I have been at my project a year now. I'm completing the assembly of the controls, my firewall forward kit arrived this week. I have a ways to go yet before I pour gas in the tank. I would be happy to show you my project most anytime. My biggest challenge has been finding the time to make steady progress between work and all of life's other distractions. There is another gentleman down in Marathon who completed his about 2 years ago. He probably has 200 hrs on it by now. You can e-mail me directly at Dave@DleeCo.com Happy riveting. Dave Lee
