Looking good Richard. What did it weigh? I'm headed to Kolb this afternoon to
pick up the parts for my project. Hopefully I can start assembling and fitting
everything together next week.
Question...what is the position of the horizontal stabilizer to the boom tube?
Drawing says 3/8" above tube. What is yours?

Looking very good. Looks about like what I ended up with on my original 5 rib
Firestar. No photos- I had to let it go. But you are right about weight- everything
has to be trimmed and weighed. And mine had a main tube that was one
foot shorter than standard. Speaking of which, has anyone heard from Jack Hart?
He is the current master of that.

It weighs 274 on a very uncooperative and unreliable bathroom scale. Looks like
we will be relying on that hand deployed parachute to make weight, even if it
is no good for anything else. And the tail is 3/8" of an inch above the boom,
because it is a recycled FSII tail and boom.

Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.
