Bill,
My real advantage is that I no longer have to read in detail to follow
the assembly steps, but if you are doing it for the first time, do read
carefully and completely as you are working. My first one (Field Test)
took me 34 hours. There is no shame in taking 60 hours or more to build
a K2 - proceed at your own comfortable pace, it is not a race, and going
faster often leads to extended troubleshooting or an expensive repair
because of build errors.
I can no longer work as fast because of hand tremors. It has gotten bad
enough that I have decided not to take on any new build or repair jobs.
I will be continuing to provide support on this reflector.
Yes, it is a part of getting older!
73,
Don W3FPR

I think so. Wayne thought I may have a record for the shortest build @ 26
hours. But I think Don would easily beat that with all his experience and
skills. We have both concurred, however, that with the time that has passed
neither of us have the speed of the 1990's. Such is aging.
