My guess is the silence in an indication that people have
decided to back up some of the many words with a bit of real work.
In my case I now have the ply required for the build and as my F16 arrives in a couple of weeks I'm putting up a 12mx6m carport which will allow me to move some of my other projects out of my workshop under cover with my F16 while I build the Blade 12. I just need to make sure I get all the materials in before the extended Christmas close down.

Hey Jeff. Good luck on the build.
Looking forward to hearing about your progress.
Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
