Hi Al
Can you provide a link for RC Scale Builder?
Couldn't keep my hands off the balsa this afternoon, despite waiting for the adhesives. The instructions state build the stabiliser (tailplane in the UK) first, so I opened the box & dived in. It was confusing at first as some of the parts were stamped with a reference number, some weren't so you have to refer to the instruction manual. TF also suggest using a fine felt tip pen to mark up the parts not stamped by them. As I hadn't got one to hand, I used a ball pen, then remembered I had some pencils, so I continued in pencil. Most of the parts came out of the sheets easily, the odd one using knife assistance. There was quite a marked difference in the balsa between sheets, even when duplicate parts came from different sheets. But on the whole I was satisfied.
Incidentally, I noticed in your pictures you had the cockpit kit with the Cessna, I ordered one from TF in August & thought I'd check progress, It's been sat at Coventry UK airport awaiting customs clearance for 4 days!!!
