What I lack in intelligence, I make up for with enthusiasm )))))))))))). I have not built planes from plans for a while, but I have a few friends that offer me their advice and I have a mechanical frame of mind. I appreciate your concern, but that would be a third or forth plane this winter, I am still lacking all of the funds for wood that I want ))))))))))). I am probably a better builder then flyer But I agree this plane would NOT be a good plane to learn any building on, if I remember correctly it was a (I am guessing at the term) balsa stick type of plane, with lots of square sticks and cross braces.

Thanks
