Thanks to everyone for the advice... I'm building after 40 years hiatus with my 10 year old son and we are having a blast. I've flown a lot- but always was short of time and had friends who like to build do the building. Currently have a scratch built Miles Reed Week's Solution and a Dave Patrick Ultimate Bipe in the hangar. My son soloed on Sensei and wanted to build so here we are with the Kougar and it's going well. Painting this one- always Monokote in past but ordered some Klass Kote and a sprayer. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again!
