Nice looking scratch build dimes!!!

Oh! Oh! Let me clarify! That beauty is all the handy work of @DB4SPD. He is the one that also did the J-tech T-Cart.
He is an exceptional builder. We have been buddies going on 25 years. The DLE 55RA was surprisingly strong and steady for the first run and needle setting. I guess you can say I am his "pit bitch". About 14 years ago we were both going to do a 42% Gel Coat Cap 232 but never came to completion. I do not build anymore and that is the main reason your Cap design is going to make mine finally materialize in a 35 center.

Yup, you need to learn to draw those in CAD (all parts on pro-bro huckers are simple) and we could cut you a whole plane in about 6 minutes with a laser or 10 minutes with a CNC router.
Yeah yeah. I'm working with a buddy right now to get the ChubCub into CAD. Funny thing the one I'm cutting out in the video is in CAD and has had kits cut before but nobody was offering a kit at the moment so I just chose to cut it out by hand. I will say though something smaller like this it is kind of relaxing just listening to my radio while cutting the parts out.

I'm just teasing ya cuz I know you are working on it. I understand what you mean about cutting and building as relaxing though too.
 
Finished applying the graphics for my EF88 Edge. Maiden is getting close!

Nice! Excellent flying machine! Got one "a friends" going in to my shop for hangar damage repair.

Great plane Tn! The 88 is my favorite plane in my hangar! I only have a handful of flights on it due to carb issues on the 61, but it is already the only one I want to take to the field.

Post maiden inspection reveals a clean bill of health and ready to move on to flight trimming and engine run in. Thanks 49 for all of the support and knowledge.
I feel as though one of my children has flown the coupe. What to build next?

I know your teasing. Hanging out over on the probro site has really tought me how to have thick skin. Heck to be honest I had thought about asking you though if you would be interested in cutting a few kits of it but I know your busy with other things and I had already spoken with one of the kit cutters on the probro site first.

I can cut parts, just no time to re-create the drawings. If you have CAD files, don't be afraid to ask. Cutting parts is what we do for a living pretty much.
