I have been lurking at this site for more than two years. As is probably the case with most of you, I've been nuts about airplanes for as long as I can remember. I have been flying RC for 19 years, and I have always been as interested in building as I am in flying. I am a better builder than I am a pilot. I have been a woodworker for more than 40 years. My woodworking interests include building copies of historic pieces of furniture and musical instruments. These activities are quite similar to scale modeling: you are working from a historically important original, and there is quite a bit of research involved in building a reproduction of an old museum piece. The difference, of course, is that you're building at 100% scale rather than a smaller size! I'm about two years into the build on a Paolo Severin 25% Storch. Not all of that time has been devoted to the Storch: a couple of pieces of furniture have been mixed in with work on the airplane. This is my first serious scale project. Since day one, I have photographed everything I've done. All along, I have intended to do a build thread at this site, but I've put off starting. I've made some mistakes, one of them pretty big, which I'd probably have avoided had I been seeking the advice of the wizards at RCSB. So, it's time to start. I look forward to learning from the extraordinary expertise of the RCSB community!
