Bumping this thread. I'm getting one over the holidays, starting to buy hardware now. This plane looks awesome - saw it a year ago at the LHS, knew I had to make room for it.

Going with a Hacker A30-12L, 11x8.5x3e prop, and considering sequencing gear doors (probably will fly a year first, work on that next winter). Oh, and some lights

And I'll admit, I really like the T-tail better than the V-tail.
