That ARF kit has some really nice pieces/parts... except for the engine mount. You have to CLAMP the engine, instead of drilling the mount for four engine bolts. I tried to work with that, and just am not happy with it at all. I've got the model 2/3 done, and now have to completely redo the firewall to accept a better engine mount that I can actually bolt the engine to.

Which means I have basically lost interest in this airplane. I've boxed it back up and set it aside, and am about to start the GP Super Skybolt. After it, I'll probably get the Sig/Seagull Decathalon ARF which will take the Saito 72 nicely.

I might do the Cub eventually... but not anytime soon.
