Well, for the last few weeks since Clay's been finished with phase I of flight training, and waiting to start Phase II, he's been occupying some of his time (way too much time, if you ask Laura) to building a radio controlled airplane from scratch. It was a particular challenge because it wasn't a kit, and there was no manual or instructions on how to build it,not even any patterns to follow, but it was a alot of fun shaping all of the pieces from plywood and balsa and slowly putting it all together. Clay hasn't taken it to the skies, still just taxiing it around on the ground, and he'll probably work up (slowly) to the point of actually taking it off. Hopefully the construction is sound enough that it will fly, He'd hate to see it crash and burn right after he finished building it.
