Default Balsa USA 1/6 Sopwith Pup question

I know this is a fairly new kit, and I'm wondering if anyone has yet had any experience with it. Want to know things like quality of kit, ease of construction, and flying qualities. Any comments would be welcome.

Balsa USA produces good flying, high quality kits, with a good instruction manual. I see no reason why anything would change for this one.

I find that you have to be right on with the c.g. Mine took 12 oz of lead in the nose and still wound up with about a 16 oz wing loading. It flies around at less than 1/2 throttle with a Saito .56 in the nose. The construction was quite straight forward. You should have no problems. I built the down and side thrust into the firewall and used pull-pull on the rudder and elevators.
