Thanks again cbreeze
I think I may bite-the-bullet and buy the kit.
Even though I don't have the time to put it together, I can make the mods you suggested and cover it in a color these old eyes can see, like neon yellow...LOL
I'd like to use the OS 61 on it as I got it NIB cheap, just have to find a standard muffler instead of the pitts it came with......
The older I get, the more cautious I get and the 4* looks like the ideal transistion into low-wing rather than augering my new Spacewalker.
Going flying now and put the first flight on the new US40 with flaps...Hope there is an expert out at the field to take it up and trim it.....after 10 years away from the hobby I get a little anxious (grin).
Thanks again for all the help!
