All:
Ok I have to admit it. I have the hot's for this bird. I built it's full scale brother a few years ago the RV-8A and it took me 7 years to build from the ground up. (Picture enclosed). I wish Wendel would design the RV-8 both in tail wheel and nose gear models. Couple of questions for you that have or are building this bird.

1. Are the Leading edges formed (rounded) or do they have to be shaped? If so what is your method for shaping the leading edges on the wings?
2. I see the DLE-60 was used by Wendell. Has anyone flown it with this engine yet? Are there any videos of it flying with the DLE-60
3. Is there a step by step guide?
4. What is the inside cowl measurements? I have seen 2 different answers to this question.

Thanks guys in advance.
