Thank you Michael for the link to the kit. It looks like a great kit. It is somewhat too advanced for some member in the club who do not have experience with kit building. My intention was to have members build a small kit to start. A boost in their confidence. Now I hope I hear from members who would be interested in building a small kit. This would be a great club project. I think we need to do more stuff like this to keep the fires burning.
