Hey Guys,
I had something like 3200 hours in actual construction time building 357CJ.
This did not include head scratching, driving for materials, ordering and
drooling over catalogs full of goodies. The actual money spent did include a
lot of tools and upgrades after buying something cheap first. I now own all of
those tools and just grab it when I need. I now own the knowledge gained from
doing so much twice (or more). The skills are far improved for glassing and
sanding. Yes the second time will be much faster. I am starting with a lot done
for me. I turned the corner on weight reduction about 2 weeks ago as well as
any changes that I was going to make. I basically have a parts to assemble kit
now (thank you Eric). Well that may be a little over simplified but still going
fast. I have about 8 hours invested in the past week and the results are
vertical stab foamed,sanded, and glassed. Rudder- foamed, sanded and one side
glassed. rudder cable guides completed. Bonding cable started form rear. Com
antenna built and installed. The week before I did a mock up using the parts on
hand to get a picture of what this version may turn out like as well as making
sure I was going to have that precious head room that I shorted myself on the
first time around.
