Hello from Sweden
« on: May 04, 2025, 02:03:08 PM »
Greetings fellow Viper-nerds  :).
My name is Patrik, I´m 38 years old, living with my fiance and our two little boys of 4 years and 1½ month old. I work in our towns fire- and rescue-service as a combination of firefighter & commander (dont know the correct title in EN)
I'm about two years inte my build... Well actually, the first two years I spent building the mancave where the pit is going to sit, and my workshop holding all the gear, Co2-laser, printer and so on. Paralell Ive been trying to gather knowledge and all the other stuff that goes into this project. The only thing Ive learned is that I know nothing :lol: But you guys are the greatest source of inspiration and knowledge, and Im happy to be here.

Now the real building has begun, starting with Invictus plans. ACES 2 is well underway :).  But as you might have guessed, this build is going to be a slow process, trying to be a responsible father and all... but then again, I think I enjoy the buildning more than the actuall flying  :stupid:

Thanx for having me, and a big sorry for all my dumb questions to come...  :biggrin:

Regards, Patrik

Welcome to the madhouse.

Indeed some builds here are very slow... RL tends to get in the way sometimes  :reading: at least on my side.

As long as you enjoy the build and focus on the end target.

Welcome!!

I've been building since 1998, so I guess, I can really count as "slow"  :harhar:

It seems I am in good company then, huh   :lol:

So whats the next step, do I start my own build-thread and post all the pics and questions there, or do I keep everything in this post?


EDIT1, first question, lets celebrate  :cheerleader:
