I want to express my appreciation and encouragement to whoever is adding the build manual updates to the www.arionaircraft.com, to keep up the good work!
How are you homebuilders getting on?
Did you get your canopy scratches addressed and what sort of hole saws are you using? My fear is that if I use a $15 one for drywall instead of a $40 carbide type, it will shred the fiberglass!

Colin and all others,
All of the accolades should be directed to Nick. He works daily on the manual and is trying to make it better each time. If you have comments or questions please let us know so we can continue to make our product the best it can be.
As far as hole saws go, we use fairly inexpensive hole saws from McMaster-Carr. Just perform a search on hole saws. We buy the bi-metal ones since we use them in several different applications.
Your kit will be on the way shortly.
Have a great day!
Mark

Colin,
I’m a homebuilder. I got a cheap set of hole saws from Harbor Freight, a whole set for less than $5 and the pilot drill was so untrue (it wobbled in the drill chuck) that I couldn’t use it. I went to Sears and got an arbor that would hold the cheap hole saws and they worked fine.
The canopy scratch situation has not been rectified as of this date.
The build manual rewrites are definitely needed and a great help. Having said that, I have spent quite a bit of time agonizing over the spar box installation and I cannot reconcile my measurements with the measurements given in the revised instructions. I am building in my garage at home and don’t have the luxury of being able to fit and refit the wings several times. It is currently too cold and snowy to work in the driveway in front of the garage.
