The "LST" is a nice choice -- Lynn was partial to the high wing Simple Series -- I think he would like it. He flew the 1/2A SST, so why not the 1/2A LST.

No problem. Yep, he's got lots of nice old time plans posted. Gonna have to build some, one of these days. Some are tiled too, and the best part, they are free. Very nice of him to do that

What type of wood do you use for the sides of the fuse.? Theres some Balsa 1/8" sheet, and theres 'Lite ply' 1/8" plywood. The plywood sure is expensive though. 12 bucks(Canadian) for a 12"x 48" piece. maybe I'll stick with balsa if theres no strenght issues with using it.
Oh...and what type of glue do you use(havent built a plane before)? I have some medium CA glue. do I need any epoxy or will it hold with just the CA?
Thanks

The plans show 3/32" balsa. Only use plywood for the firewall and balsa everywhere else. Also add a couple of pieces of tri-stock behid th firewall Only use CA, you shouldn't need any epoxy for this plane except maybe the firewall. If you build it with ailerons, put .75" dihedral on each wing tip. If you build it without ailerons, use 1.75" diheadral on each tip.
