I built some different ailerons for it, as I don't use flaps, and I re-covered it. I figured that I'd put that engine I got from him on the plane but since it's a .91 O.S. 4-stroke, I also shortened the fuse a little from the firewall side. I needed to do a little work up on that end anyways. Figured moving the engine back about 1.5 inches couldn't hurt. I needed to raise the landing gear and put larger wheels on it too so the 14x6 MAS prop doesn't hit the ground. Here's a couple of quick photos of it. I have yet to maiden it. Hopefully soon. Also, here is a quick video of firing the engine.
