I decided to try my hand at building. It is the first build in 20 years and only my third ever. There are other build threads on this aircraft. Mine is from the point of view of a novice builder. I may or may not use glues right. I have to discover how to clamp and pin things etc. I will share what I learn as I go. Please if you have a good tip go ahead and share.

I selected the ArrowMaster because I wanted a biplane that built well. Model Aviation News has a build along as well. I also have the benefit of having that author in my local club . This gave the benefit of seeing his build and gleaning the "what I would have done different ...."

I decided I would document my build with the changes and lessons learned. Remember this is only my third build the last being over 25 years ago. (Surprising similar budget )


Well the kit is here. I have a building board and I hope I am ready for the build I am going to do a few quick posts to catch up to where I am. I will share pictures and posts about things I find with the ArrowMaster build and building in general.

I ask a lot of questions (I think to the point of being a pain in the ass sometimes) but I try to suck in information wherever I can. I appreciate Rick and other modelers taking the time to answer them all. As I see areas of challenge I will be posting in the regular forums looking for solutions.
