Mike doesnt post much here, but he is an old time RV guy, very talented and meticulous builder.
 
No kidding! This will go fast.

(Those orange small knobs on the G3X. Great idea. I have a bent one)
Those are dental rubber bands from Amazon. Yeah, at Garmin I think that knob costs the same to replace as a new screen!
 
I was able to watch the progress of this incredible build. It is one of the nicest built planes I have ever seen. The buyer won't be disappointed!
 
What is a cheese grater wing tip? Haven’t heard that description. And where do you purchase the fiberglass stabilator wing tips? Thanks.

The standard wing tips are full of holes and some sharp edges--cheese grater. Van's sells the stabilator tips.
 
….and the -12 is a “self-jigging airplane”….both wings and fuselage! You cannot build a warped wing or fuselage even if you wanted to…👍
