That might be the hardest part for me. Deeper Blue or Draker Silver Gray.

Welcome.

The way I look at it is, a build thread doesn't have to be good to be valuable, the things people will catch from the pictures you post will amaze. But also, the encouragement and sense of community and for sure, other people will identify with your specific combination of components and find it an invaluable resource down the road.

Agree
The build threads are so helpful for a rookie like myself and the support is invaluable. Top reason I decided to go with the FF kit.
v1 and vr for me are the fun part, v2 push the autopilot button Ha

Me too!

My favorite times were the challenge of bad weather in night freight (fright) and approaches. Least favorite was when I pushed the autopilot button and the sim instructor indicated a fire in number 2 and a cabin depress at the same time:eek:

Ah sims every 6moths. I'm down to 1 or 2 left. Last check was fun, midnight shif of course but the instructor was a good guy. He fell asleep to I put her in a spin. Frist time in a jet for me but did 5 turns and came out on heading and no red screen. Challenger 350. Back to instructor daysfor a moment.

Spins in a Challenger, Nice! Most I ever did was a loop in a Pilatus. Of course, emergency descent in an EMB 145 over mountains will get your blood pumping...https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=134381&d=1598550301

Respect on the EMB-120! I did a couple years on it in the late 90s. Good lord what a learning experience that was!
Good luck with the build. Quite a few pilots here!

Congrats and welcome - did you ever have one of those teachers in grade school who tried to get you to pay attention by saying no one will ever pay you to sit there and look out the window?

Just replied to your PM and sent you an e-mail with docs, too!
