Robert Hughes (UK):

The date for delivery of my Dingo kit is getting closer, and I'm thinking about some of the modifications I want to make to suit the sort of flying I'll be doing, for instance increasing fuel capacity and making more space to add a few more (still basic) instruments. I've been playing with the 3D computer model of the Dingo, and it's been very helpful in working out what is or isn't practical. The "build manual" for the Dingo consists of three elements, PDF files showing how to assemble the kit, videos to make the process easier to follow, and this 3D computer model. It's very detailed, and you can manipulate it to see exactly how the Dingo is constructed. You can hide and unhide individual components, or whole assemblies, rotate it in 3D, and zoom in and out. You can also move parts, in effect dismantling elements on screen. I don't know how common it is to get this kind of facility when you buy a kit aircraft, but I'm finding it very useful.
When you look at the detail of the structure and the individual components, you start to appreciate the work and thought that has gone into the design. I'm very glad this is a comprehensive kit, not just a set of plans and materials. The time saving will be huge, especially as the holes in mating components are pre-made and ready to rivet. This "hole to hole" technology also avoids the need for assembly jigs.
