Hi, not sure if you saw this thread: [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9346949/anchors_9364813/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9364813]P-26 Group Build[/link], it's one I started for a club build we are doing. We are building from plans, I had a kit that we used for reference and to make fiberglass parts from. There are 4 of us, each building their own plane. We are at the painting stage now and hope to have them ready for the spring. Looking forward to seeing your build.

What is U/C? Obviously I haven't flown the plane yet, but it builds very light for the girth of the fuse and the wing is big. If you are careful to carve the rear blocks to the correct shape there really isn't that much weight to worry about, although I would make sure the blocks are lightweight balsa.
