I'm glad yours made it. I heard from VMAR support they've corrected the engine mount issues. SF is exactly the same width of FX/AX. The HP I used is LA .40 width, same as FX .25 I believe.
Yeah the covering, you cut it, it doesn't stick to anything, it's only sticking to itself. Monokote isn't much for a boxy fuselage though.
I sold my RTF V Stick in the photos for $100 locally. I've never been happier. What do you think of the hatch covers? Servo horn connectors?
What exactly makes turning it into a tail dragger a big task? I didn't see any obstacles preventing that from being easy;
Epoxy in some plywood, drill some holes, move the gear forward, and add a rear skid.
