This Thatcher CX4, built by Rick Clendaniel on Expercraft.com, is a large, thorough build of this excellent aluminum plane.

The CX4 is an inexpensive low wing, single-seat, all-metal plane, typically powered by a VW air-cooled engine. It first flew in 2004, and there are now about 50 flying worldwide.

Rick previously built a FP-303 from "basically tooth picks and fabric", and now wanted to tackle an all-metal plane. He does an extraordinary job of it, and leaves an extremely detailed and helpful record of his work behind.
