Here we have the kit.......





Really not a whole lot of wood there....especially when you're used to building giant scale stuff!

I guess this is the 1st .40 size "sport" model I have built in years. It's like I'm taking a step backwards with mid fuse mounted servos, 2-56 metal pushrods and a glow engine! I started the kit on Friday and have the tail feathers done, the lower wing done and have just started the fuse. I've not had much time over the weekend to spend on it with family activities etc. but it's gone together really quickly and very easy. I'll be posting those pics when I get a few minutes. I plan on trying to keep the thread as informative as possible and may be editing stuff as I go.
