That's why we like GSN. No politics. Although I did enjoy slapping people around elsewhere. Can anyone say esprit?

Esprit....

Maybe I owe you all a little update? Maybe a sniff to tantalize your taste buds? Just a sneak at a little eye candy?

Got a pretty good start on the top half of the right wing. Trying very carefully to build this strong, but no extra weight. I have built some pretty darn straight fuselages and tail feathers in my day. But one thing I've learned really well, is the overall handling and flight characteristics are 90% dependent on the construction of the main wing. So I spend way more time, (maybe too much) on the accuracy and structural integrity of the wing as i do any other part of the build.

I apologize in advance if the photos are not in chronological order.



And now for the Ultimate moment of ecstasy. Would this not be the sickest in a 50% gargantuan Stang? Doah!!

I'll keep pluggin' away...
