                        Nice work on the Flyer.  Is that Wilbur or Orville sitting in the pilot's seat?

                        That is a pretty good first build. How did you like doing the rigging?

                        Very nice.  The WF always looks like a hard one to do.  I have two different flyer kits in 2 scales but haven't tried either.  Wilbur? Wright was born not too far from here.  I've been past it several times but never stopped.

                        It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be until I got to the rigging. It is very tedious, but it looks so cool when you get it all done. You'll have to give one of them a try.

                        Well here it is. My second try. I think the color makes it look a lot better. What do you guys think? Now I can get started on my group build. This time its a car.
