I would suggest you open the box at the FEDEX office before you sign for it. Mine had some damage to the canopy & vertical stab. Bill is sending a new canopy. I have the wings done. Check the ail & flaps, they have little holes already drilled for the horns. you can't see them under the film. I have the stabs done. They also have marks where to drill, look for them. Ask Bill for construction pics, he has a bunch. They help a lot. I'm putting a K-140G in mine. As far as the thrust problem goes, it looks like all you can do is keep the pipe & the front of the turbine as low as possible so as to have the thrust angle pointing upwards as it leaves the tail. This will push the tail down & get rid of the nose over problem. Mixing up elev with full power also is an option. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have as you progress. Don Heath
