Yes, the same plane. He is going the slow build route so I'm giving him
a few months head start before I order my quick build. I tried to
convince him to build an 8 so we could trade off, but no luck. ;)

Dale,
Not yet. I'm building a new home in Denver, NC and hope to be moved in by
Sept-Oct. I'll order the QB then and have it delivered to the new home. I
wont have time to work on it until after I move in. I'll keep you updated.
