From Planes to Ships

She looks great ! You might consider building a more intermediate model before you just into the Endeavour.
Maybe like the Pride of Baltimore 2 from Model Expo or possibly the Occre Corsair or Buccaneer or even the Albatross. The addition of rigging will be a big step !

Yep good idea jeff. I found PDF Karl Marquard author for the Endeavour which is nicely detailed. I'm sure that another 12 months or so won't matter till I get to her will help with experience. Thanks for your advice.

Welcome, I too build balsa free flight planes. This is entirely different. One of the biggest issues is lack of any kind of coherent instructions depending on the kits maker. The instructions usually amount to about 10% of the info you really need. Model Shipways is the rarity as the instructions are good. Good luck and start simple.
