Sometimes change is a good thing


Episode 26: I’ve decided that I need to change the content of the channel a little. When I started this channel, I wanted to introduce building of model aircraft from either scratch, or from a kit form, as there has become a great dependency on ARFs (almost ready to fly) models that have taken away the need to actually build an aircraft. So I wanted to introduce a series to show you how to do it. One and a half years and 25 episodes later... I would say it has been a successful start. However building a model on Youtube has taken a lot of time… the additional steps of videoing, editing, and uploading, and stalling building on a daily basis to save the work for a videoing session next week or two weeks has made a project which should take 2 months into 18. So as we come to a close on the Rebel, and I enter semi retirement giving me a few more days a week to reorganize my hobby and this channel, I will strive to get back on track with a video a week, and introduce some of my other projects in short spurts to keep things interesting, and informative. At least that’s what I am going to try to do. Wish me luck.

Thank you for your subs and comments… I have enjoyed answering as many as I can. Keep them coming.
Let’s get building!!!
