A few areas that I encountered that are worth mentioning about building this kit.
1. You may want to re-enforce the wing tips as the monokote tends to want to distort them.

2. The gear fairings are balsa, I changed them later to lite ply as the monokote wanted to bow them as well.

3. The wing cabanes are a bit of a trick, and I added ply gussets
to the corners for additional strength.

Other than that everthing as per plans. Airplane flies great.
Oh, one more thing. I had a 40LA oringinally on the airplane and it was'nt enough power, with the 46FX it now has plenty.

Good Luck!!
