Well, the assembly (note careful avoidance of the word build - yes, I have read this whole thread) is going quite well I think. I am quite enjoying the project, only one small issue so far, two of the blind-nuts had an issue, perhaps glue in them, where the socket head screw wouldn't wind in. Problem is, these are inaccessable, in both cases had to cut structure away to get a pair of curved long-nose pliers onto them to get them out and fit a replacement. Means my brand new model has a repair to the leading edge of the upper wing and a repair to the fuselage adjacent to the cabane strut and I haven't even crashed it....yet!!!!
NGH GF 38 does look big up front, but so far I am happy with the fit. Will post a few pics of the fit of that engine soon.
