It would help to know who the kit manufacturer is, what the actual size is and the expected flying weight. Also, your flying style and expectations (smooth IMAC style or insane 3D)

I build one of these about 6 years ago. I used a G-62 which flew it, but you really need something more in the 80 - 100 cc range. It's a good build, and a good flier. About the trickiest part is the turtle deck. Take your time! Wet the wood, add some weights and let it sit overnight. That's the one part you really don't want to rush.

okay here are some pictures of my first hold up point and was wanting some input before i made a mistake,it has to do with the hinge blocks,i cut the parts out but not real sure how the get glued in,i take it they get glued to the stab trailing edge and against the ribs,do they touch the sheeting at all or do i just center them on the stab trailing edge
