Newbie announcement

Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen that design before and it does look
interesting. I've still got a couple of weeks before I have to commit
to a specific design so I'll be studying that one.
One thing that stands out right off to me is it appears to be of more
light-weight construction than the Affordaplane even though it has very
similar specifications. It also requires access to a metal brake and
lathe. While thats not a big issue - the Affordaplane doesn't and is
almost totally bolt-together as opposed to riveting.
The Parasol does look more like a "real airplane"....
