Default RE: Bridi by Bluejay Airplane Kits

In case you are interested I just finished my Utter Chaos 40 last week and maidened it last weekend. It flew great and was easy to land.
Build summary.
This was my 4th kit I have built. it was definitely more challenging than any of my previous builds.
I used a OS 46fx and I had to extend the nose by about 3/4in. which was very easy.
I just added a 3/8 x 3/4 (I think) stock to the bottom and cheek pieces.
I opted for the optional tail dragger configuration, and reinforced the landing gear mounts.
I also built the wing with 0 dihedral.
Other than the points listed above, I built it to plan.

It came out a little nose heavy and I had to add about 1.5 oz to the tail.
Here are a couple of pictures.
