Thanks guys for chiming in...I appreciate it.
Regarding the dihedral, I did consider it but decided to try it stock and see how it would feel that way at least for this one (could always build another, right? :-). Truth be told I also wondered what my actual dihedral would end up being by using the gauge in the kit as DBD1 says his came out with less than 4 inches anyway...
Tom, I like the looks of your tail dragger Kadet but I'll go with the trike gear configuration for this one...its been a long time since I last flew trike gear and I think this'll be fun!
cheers,
Ken
