Hey Joe, I'm sure you know it depends greatly on how you decide to build it out. Ours specifically looks like the following. 50k engine, 20k prop, 9k fabric, 30k panel and electrical, 5k interior, and we have around 6k in hardware, but supposedly the new kits come with most of that now.

That’s correct

@@ColbyOsborn you re doing a great job with the covering! Uhh, I think the oracover s fantastic! It,s finished ,,all you need to do is fight through the frustrations of applying it. With the traditional process every stage can bring disaster and the stages are many. I have been following a build by an English guy called Algy Yates. He,s doing a Fisher Youngster. Really interesting. An old school craftsman. He is covering with Oracover 600. Check him out ohh the rib stitching looks really tedious. How many hour does that entail on say just the elevator??

If you search "oratex aircraft fabric" the search engine should return your distributor.

Just an experimental builder.

I believe that’s correct. Hope the second side goes smoothly for you!

Thanks Kevin! We've went through somewhat of a disaster with getting an engine overhauled. Has been a big setback schedule wise and financially, but I hope to finally be through all of that sometime this summer! The wiring is mostly complete but we haven't posted anything on that as I was hoping to finish the little bit of firewall forward wiring to capture all of it in one video. At any rate, I hope to be working on the project again soon and I certainly plan to continue with documenting our process. Appreciate your kind comments.

​@@ColbyOsbornwhat happened with the rebuild? I stalled on my bearhawk patrol project in favor of getting my kolb in the air. Everything costs too much now!

Thanks! It’s a “smile.” A submissive gesture not uncommon amongst some of the herding breeds. I greatly admire the skills and determination of a scratch builder. Hope to hear more about your project someday.

@@ColbyOsborn Oh, so do I! But I’m not scratch building. I bought a slightly damaged, very dusty, Frankenstein’s monster, and I’m bringing it back to life with some STOL accessories and modern tech.
