That's easy... no worries at all. Have Dave professionally build it for you.

Ok, so here's the deal. My all-time favorite plane I ever 'assembled' was
the 2-m Super V. I set that one up about 10 years ago, and though I still
have it flying, it's been through many a repair and rework, and has gained
loose fitting and lots of weight in the process. (I think it checks in at
46 oz now, rtf.) I always swore if I could find a new one, I'd buy it,
even though I rarely fly 2-m in competition anymore.
Well, surprise! I've come across one, of sorts. It's the kit form of the
same plane I already have. The previous owner went ahead and bagged the
wings (a speciality of his), but then lost interest. It's going to be
offered for sale, and I'd like to get it, but those damned 'building'
requirements give me pause. I could probably kludge it together somehow,
but I'm sure it would not fly nearly as well as if it were done by a 'builder'.
From time to time I've seen posts here of people who do this type of
thing as a speciality (for a fee, of course). I'm looking for some
referrals to someone who might be interested in this as a small project
over the winter. The stuff that remains to be done is really quite
simple, with most of the work centering around building the structure for
the v-tails (including assembling the v-tails), and glassing in the fuse
ply root ribs, along with a couple of the typical 'setup' tasks I would
normally have done in the past. The kit even has the schematics
outlining the structure.
If you could pass along your contacts, I'd appreciate it. Want to check
prices for labor before I commit to the purchase. (I have to admit,
though, I'm already drooling at the prospect of a "brand spanking new
super v").
