Hey DJ, You'll love the Giant, I had one for two years and recently lost it when the strut broke at the fuse. Those thin aluminum strut straps tend to fatique and then break. Check the other Giant Tele thread for more information on that. I'm currently in the process of building another one, I'll use the same engine a G62. I'm putting smoke on this one along with a bomb bay like my last one had.
Good luck, keep the pictures coming, Jerry.

RE: the 12foot telemaster progress
jbarnes, What are you going to use for new struts to keep from the same thing happening again. I sure do not want to lose my plane after all this work we put in them. I'm going to put a OS120 in the front end. Do you think I will have to do much modification to the front of it? Thank you for your comments hopefully I'm doing it right. Look forward to chat again. I will be posting more pictures as I go. Thank you Flying DJ
