Are you talking about a regular balsa kit from Guillows or whomever? I did start building a Stearman years ago, but my wife sat on the fuselage halfway through it and trashed it. I am not really afraid of working from a set of plans. I've studied the Mystery Ship enough and gone over these enough to be familiar with them thoroughly.

As for the Razor plane, I looked it up and it doesn't look like a bad idea. Perhaps I am making this more complicated than it is?
