Good list. I cant remember everything I ordered for my cap but it was a good sized list.

I am currently on a work trip but was able to order the wing and stab tubes along with the landing gear and a couple other odds and ends needed. This is the weekend the build should start! Sorry for the delays... more to myself than to all of you

Who did you get the landing gear from? Is it gear for a certain Edge or just generic gear?
Thanks, Travis

I got the landing gear and tail gear from Extreme Flight.

I also found a used DA-50!!! So excited I got a great deal on it

I can finally say the build is under way!!!

The bottom main stringers have a 5 degree bend somewhat close to the front. I am using about a 20 degree overlap for extensions, so for the 5 degree bend in the stringer, I just cut the front piece 5 degrees closer to 90 to get the angle needed.

I found out that I need to do a bit of sanding on the tank floor and motor box top to make them fit properly.

Better to sand a little to get it to fit than it being to small. Looks good brotha and glad you finally got it under way.

@cbarnes0061 True story. Much easier to sand to shape. Sure glad I have those handy, dandy sanding blocks!

I am going to stop and get more clips today. My stash of 6 tiny clips and 2 clips of bigger sizes isn't going to cover it!!
