Actually I sheeted all the surfaces. I even cut the wings and stab. When I got the kit the wings were warped and the stab was in very bad shape. So, I elected to start from scratch. I built a jig to drill the wing tube hole in the wings and stab. But I've been thinking lately that I might go with a one piece stab instead of a plug-in stab. If I'm not mistaken the ship goes 65 x 65. It looks really cool. I made the canopy from a foam block since it didn't come with a clear canopy but I'll make a plug and mold from the foam piece and pull a clear canopy. I'm looking at getting it in the air by this winter. My main concern is a decent RE 61 engine. I have a ST 75se but wanted to keep it as clean as possible. That NR61 looks good. Is it a longstroke? Thanks for your insight sir.
