Hello out there... is was wondering if anyone else has built or is building the Maricardo from the plans in RCM&E as i am building it and would like tips or tricks from anyone!
Thanks

When I saw the plans in RCM&E I knew I would have to build one also. It will be my second plane, and my first scratch build. I've got the wood, but I haven't started building yet. Too busy trying to get as much flying in for this year before the weather turns bad.

How is your build going? Any pictures yet?

One thing I think I will change is to move the horizontal stab higher, to the thrust line, and slightly change the shape of the rudder to make to look a little more modern. I'm also considering where to add lightning holes in pieces, but where I'm not certain yet.

Regards,
Bruce

Hi,
I want to go away from ARTF'S as i think that building the plane is much more rewarding and i know lots of people will agree with me. Building is over half the fun! I've just finnished my Capiche 50 which is a very easy kit to build as it is so well designed and im looking to build a sportster that will always be there to fly when the other planes are 'out of order' and i think it would be quite a rewarding winter build only one problem i may have lost the RCM&E which issue is it i need to order a back issue? Thanks

Is RCM&E Big in the US and New Zealand i didn't think may people abroad read it
