Re: Assemble an Elan in 3 Hours!

When I read about assembling the Elan in 3 hours, I have to laugh. When I assembled my S7 kit back in 1965, it took at least 3 hours after dumping all the bolts, nuts, washers, split pins, clevis pins, etc. out of the 2 cloth tobacco sacks onto the bench and trying to figure out which went where from the parts list that was supplied. Even then, there were mistakes made that required changing some fasteners for others. It took more than 3 hours just to drill the needed holes and mount the 4 fenders/wings.
