4*40 kit bashing
What are some good and or necessary mods to the stock kit.
Any weak points I need to address during building.
Do all of the control surfaces have enough area? Do any need enlarged?
Would this be a candidate for flaps?
Will it accept a 61 with out to much tail weight added?
How about the stock dihedral to much?
Any comments will be appreciated we are starting construction on my kit this weekend and would like to make it a perfect bird.

Only thing I would do is add some wood to side of fuse for landing gear,gear rips put on not to perfect landing,once you change the dihedral you have also changed the good flying of the plane.Flaps? No! this plane is a floater to start with.Strong .46 is enough,but if you want more,then hang yourself.

Hello, You might want to look at this site for some ideas. Most of the mods are cosmetic, but there are also some links on his page that go to some other guy's planes and ideas too. ..
