Dec 15, 2021     Introduction       Category: Research
Hello and thank you for visiting my builder's log.

I'm at the very beginning of a kit build; still waiting for tailfeather parts to arrive.

This will actually be the second time I've built this aircraft as the first time was on CAD as one of the designers.

The plane is a 95% scale replica of a Ryan ST. I have flown around 22 hours on the prototype and look forward to having my own to fly. As the build progresses I'll be sure to post updates here.

Thanks!
Glenn
