3D Viper-ST 100-120cc scratch build......it continues!

Always a pleasure to follow your builds Terry.

Thanks guy's, we made good progress today and started a bit on Saturdays "to do" list. Unfortunately I am new to this time lapse stuff and gopro software ate the second half of our day pics. But the good part is all that was is installing the belly pan, and final assembly of the canopy deck along with lots and lots of sanding......so you did not miss much.

Vid of most of the day is loading right now and I'll post before I crash. Here is some results as of end of day two:

Video of first half of day two. Will do something differently with the files tomorrow!

I like the time lapse!
Great job guys, You picked a great day to be in the shop.

Nice work, looks like fun on a cold South Dakota day.

As day two ended, and we got a little discouraged for the video loss, Terry helped me assemble things to get a view of our progress. Amazing what we got accomplished! I admit, I don't feel I am one of those people that walk around in a daze... but honestly Terry has quite literally taken the "need an engineer to build" out of this, and designed it so it is as simple as "Duh"! Do not think you don't have to do a little labor, your still responsible for sanding, glueing,and fitting for perfection after sanding. However I kid you not, this is truly a simple build! Yes I know someone out there is thinking, but you went to his shop, he was there to assist you, even did some stuff for you, and all this is true, but this is designed so you don't need a bunch of complicated tools, sanders or such. You can do this with very few items in your shop! I have tried other builds before, this is the most simple I have seen out, and in the time we have invested to the start of today, I have invested in ARFs on the market just to get to a point of hinging surfaces!

HUGE Thanks to Terry and the Law! I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this amazing opportunity! I know we have been thinking Terry isn't human, but I have also seen him bleed now. The truth is if you have the least bit of common since, can plan ahead a few steps, Terry has a design that allows you to do multiple things at once. As your glue is drying, you can be assembling other things, or sanding something else, or glueing another part.... And this my friends is how he manages to get so many things done in one day! He is honestly a simple person that doesn't over think the process! I can,t wait, today we will be cutting surfaces, adding some hinge stock, and capping ends. I am sure he has a nicely planned out list for accomplishments as we go, to be continued.......

Unbelievable.... At the end of Day 2 I'd still be thinking about how to complicate Day 1

OK back on topic.

VIPER BUILD! We are exactly on schedule for what I laid out. We took 5700 pics and the gopro decided to start over numerically so there is a big video and a small one to wrap it up.

Your skills are amazing.

Thanks
