     I missed that one Mark. When was it aired? Maybe my cable Co does not have that
     channel.

Mark is correct on that Paul. The Disc/wings channel has shown 3 different aircraft construction series. The first was the construction of an RV-8. That may
have even been the video series the EAA sells. The second was Mark (forgot the last) a Brit, who did a interesting buildup series on the trike gear Europa.
(completely standard kit) The same guy also did a series on building and flying the Rotorway kit helicopter. He was much more amusing than the EAA guys, who
would show only very small portions of construction so as not to bore the hell out of everybody. The series were probably not marked for prime time as the
people doing the building didn't have artificial deadlines, and didn't beat each other up and throw parts around the shop. Very sad is the state of reality
programing in the US.
