    Hi Frank,

    Great to hear from you.

    Very wise to not push the carry-through drilling until you have the right tools.

    How thick was each bit of plywood that you glued up?

    Hi Frank,

    Glad to hear you are making progress. When you have the time a picture of the fuselage in its present state would be great.

    But totally understandable if you are too busy for that.

    Yep. Sometimes it's just better to stop when you are snake bit.

    BTW you're quite inspirational in that you had a crash and decided to build a new plane. Some people would have just given up.

    The benefit of the neck gaiter over just a turtleneck is that if you need to, you can pull it up over your nose and therefore cover your cheeks, nose and mouth.

    Nothing wrong with wearing both.

    Neck gaiters are a great solution to the problem. You wouldn't really need the scarf with a neck gaiter.....
