Help! What does your build season List look like?

[FoamyDM]

In North America (where I live) the Daylight savings time just happened ... or did it un-happen?. That means two things. I leave for work and Come home in the dark. And, Build Season has Begun! For me, I don't think build season stops, however, it is a GREAT spot to stop, take stock and plan some things out. What am I planning for? two things. Build-ruary (in February 2022) and FliteFest '22,

Also this was the time @rockyboy (years ago) would issue a Design build challenge that would through ALLL that off the table as the Challenge took me to dreamer/build land. (if He Doesn't I will)

I want to know... What does your build List look like this Build season?

Hot wire... oh yeah!

 

[Matthewdupreez]

How many do you expect to finish by May?

All of them.
I can roll out a standard ft plane in about 5hours.

 

[JasonK]

Hot wire...

what about it? I a bow on my desk (need to rebuild it, it wasn't keeping the needed tension) it is something I really want to try out.

Lot's of practice needed for smooth building in Build-ruary. I watched it come and go last year Perhaps I shouldn't plan for several master series builds at that time - I think my painting and detailing time would severely suffer!
