Ok I had a lot of good responses to my first email. I find this list just as 
importantly motivating as informational. Unfortunately no opportunities for a 
check ride here in AZ. Fortunately I am able to work in SoCal (I work for Bank 
of America) and we go often to visit family. I couldn't help it I had to go by 
the Rand Robinson office. Well I shouldn't have been surprised it was a UPS 
store mailbox. I then went to Aircraft Spruce. I browsed around in the store 
practically salivating. Some one asked me if I needed help. Stupidly I said "I 
don't know" I think I ment that I don't know if I am ready for this. Eventually 
I bellied up to the bar and ordered. 10 yards of BID and four sheets of 
Last-a-Foam. All of this I got from Steve's KR Super 2 site. I asked about the 
difference between Aero Epoxy verses the T-88 and the guys said about $10. I 
went with the Aero Poxy. I spent $300 which to me is a real commitment. I saved 
on shipping and the $60 Hazerdous
 Material transportation fee. I'll have to wait until I get back to start 
playing with the Fiberglass. In the meantime I have been running through the 
courses on AOPA's site (I am a complete newbie to even flying)

They are awesome. I am looking at my little purchase as if it were Christmas 
all over again. 

I still don't know if I am going to get the KR boats, but I am moving forward 
either way. I figure learning how to lay glass while building the HStab will be 
educational and will test my commitment and enjoyment of the process.
