A note of update....I now have the short kit (provided by Joe) and have the tail group, the cabanes, and the wing cores. I am still waiting for the other formers, but have the wood to cut them myself. I have purchased the new balsa for the fuse sides (the fuse short kit is pure plywood and will prove to be very heavy). I will use the supplied sides as a pattern, and as a fuse doubler to just behind the wing saddle. I have also purchased the stringers, spar material and the leading and trailing edge material. I intend to set the servo tray up to utilize interior mounted servos since Jim's full scale did not have servos hanging out under the tail. I will set the rudder up for pull-pull, and the elevators up for twin servos. Gordon was nice enough to prevail on Mike Dunphy to provide the wing cores (thanks Mike) and is going to send me a cowl to finish. We are going to need a tail wheel set, a pair of 4" wheels and wheel pants. I am going to set the engine box to use a G-62, since there should be an opportunity to get one of these at a lower price than say a DA-100 or equivelant. A G-80 twin would really be nice here. The tank box will have adequate space for mounting the smoke tank. This is a fairly large box, but you can still run out of room quickly. Any help would be appreciated at this point (getting our hands on some parts)
