I have gotten more done with the kit. Tail wires, hinging, sealed ailerons/elevator, setup neutrals/control throws dual rates/expos. mounted tank/receiver. Still deciding on final touches to covering schemethen, the photos! After completing the above mentioned things, I hung the plane from the ceiling and have been working on some other stuff. I found a ama flying field only 22 miles from home. A wonderful "older feller" (80 something) is in charge. He is a lifelong r/c guy with alot of info and stories. I am member number 6 so I will have great opportunities to have stick time! I hauled my lawn mower up there and mowed the whole field, so my new buddy is happy to have me around too.I will finish the sse soon though, throw her on the scale and take some pics. D, good luck with your project, they are good kits just as they are. I just wanted to have a hatch for the fuel tank and that got me to thinkin!!!!! Now I think if one wanted to build a super light plane of this type, there are kits out there to do just that. This kit does what it does and others do what they do. The way this one flies together, how easy it is to be straight and strong and the way it performs is well documented. I like mine and think I will like the few changes that I made.
