RE: CA 31 % Build
Cap,
Yeah. I have to finish it. Now that I am unemployed, well sort of, I have to make due with what I have. Can't go buying all of Wayne's planes.
So far this thing is a POC to build. My son stopped by the shop and asked when I got the "3D puzzle" to build. The laser cutting is very nice in the kit. And Chris is right, other than covering, this thing will build quick. You may need another project to last all winter.
I plan on using a ZDZ 80 with a header and RCS can. If I can keep it around 19-20 lbs, which from the looks of other builds on RCU is very do-able, then it should be really killer. The ZDZ 80 will live first in my new Wild Hare Giles that I ordered last night.
So far the only things I need to replace from the Extra kit are, the landing gear (midgets must have designed them), wheel pants (what a joke! These things are crap), and I'd love a new cowl. One a bit more heavy duty.
