Wow, I hate typing in this ipad, lots of typos.
The kote looks good and not discolored. I actually bought some model spray paint from hobby lobby that matches pretty good. I repainted the cowl and made some new struts. Agree, the wing is very stout, but you have to love the original look of the struts. I also think that supertigre 61 is way overpowered for this model. Wish I had a small four stroke for it for a more realistic sound. I’ll see if i can find the Carlsburg manual online to get a starting point on the CG. However, im pretty sure it has to be around 4” from LE. I’ll also research some floats for it. The only plane if flown from water was my trusty old Wingo. I still,have on that has been patched up a thousand times. Wish they still made them. It was my first RC plane and thought many folk to fly with it. Well....they got the basics of taking off and landing.
