50 Hours In
Seems like a milestone, completed my 50th hour on the project yesterday which nicely coincided with the completion of the final flaperon. It seems like I am making slow progress compared to everyone else but when I see my rudder, slats and flaps I think well I am certainly making some progress so that can't be bad.

Yes I am definitely enjoying it (except when I make a stupid mistake), just wish I could find more time to do the work. I'm only home at weekends and feels like I should spend at least a little time with the wife :) Mind you, she's becoming an expert with the cleco pliers....

Big build fast and you can see the progress. Small builds slow and the light at the end of the tunnel seems weak. However, building should be a joy. So, take fotos and write it down. No fear, as you get into it try to set small goals along the way. Most builds that quite only see the end zone. Fliers only see IMC (impossible mission to complete) when building. Have fun....

Hi Paul
Sounds like you are comming alond quite nicely to me. It's a very satisfying to complete those big parts isn't it. I have some good news for you. It just gets better and better when those big parts start joining up.
Keep up the good work and stay motivated. Also don't forget that most people on this site love to help others so if you can't figure it out, shout.
Regards
Phill
