Hello, Are ya going to be doing any build/progress videos?

[@petercromarty]

Hello 1958HHH, Yes I did consider making some videos but the build is time-consuming enough without all the planning and editing that goes into a video. I have made a few short videos as part of my record of construction for certification but none that I am planning to make public at the moment. I'll think about it when the aircraft is finished. Hope you found the vid interesting and helpful. Regards, Peter

[@1958HHH]

@@petercromarty Have fun building. Yes the video covered many points of comparison I never would have thought of.

[@petercromarty]

@@1958HHH One thing I didn't consider and didn't mention which turned out to be important once I started the build: the quality of the assembly instructions. Check with people who have built the type you are interested in. The Sling 2 instructions are appalling. The Sling TSi instructions are a vast improvement so I have been using them for guidance as many of the features are the same in principle.
