The name is a shortened version of N417KF which is the intended FAA registration number. The build began on April 21, 2020 and will continue until completion. I have never built a plane before but so far it off to a great start. Follow along as I progress through the build process. https://www.7kilofox.com/tool-list daily 0.75 2022-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98905d76c2f30388229315/1588388715218-HH9VBXU040IDH11M8EDG/grinder.jpg Tool List https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98905d76c2f30388229315/1588388855458-CADTBFA040CTL7O5C0R4/Drill.jpg Tool List https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e98905d76c2f30388229315/1588388771798-2Q7NFRP9V86HTF1MVU1E/SocketSets.jpg Tool List
