Default RE: Great Planes Super Sportster 60 Kit - First Timer

Hello everyone,
First thing i want to say KitBuilder is 'GO Gators'. i just found this great thread and I have a question about my SS60. 1. What do you think of adding retracks to it? i have built 2 SS40's and 1 SSbipe. very fun planes to fly. my bipe was nice, went to trim it out and lost radio contact. Needless to say it went though a few trees and literally exploded as it when down, but boy it looked good taking off and in its short flight. I came back from the wreckage with a walmart bag of a few parts. never found the bat pack. I liked it so much that i built a top wing for my current SS40 and plan on making it a bipe. used the same plans as the bipe but scaled it up to match. KitBuilder, you are correct, the bipe did not have N struts. it used wide placed cabanes to hold the top wing.
thanks for letting me share this. and keep up the good tips.
