I just became the new owner of a Dynaflite Piece O' Cake. My uncle picked this plane up along with another one at an auction a while back with the intention of finishing the build and flying it. Well the project was pushed to the back burner. He was just about to throw it away when I said that I would take it. My experience with airplanes is pretty much non-existent but I have always wanted to learn. I am looking for as much information as possible about this plane. I do not have the manual. It looks like they can be purchased from Dynaflite but if anyone has a copy they don't want any more or would like to either photocopy or scan the pages for me that would be greatly appricated. According to Tower this plane is marketed as a Trainer Plane. The engine they suggest is a Cox Black Widow .049 engine. The one thing that noticed about this engine is that it has no throttle control! It appears that all of their engines that are this small have no throttle control. Intersting.

Here is some pictures in its curent state.....









Since this is my first plane and my first time building a kit any information/tips/suggestion will be helpful. Also along with any tools. I will also be looking for any information related to skining the plane but as you can see that is a ways off.

Edit: I noticed on the plans that they make a reference between balsa and spruce wood. I have two boxes full of different wood but I am unsure of how to tell the difference between the two. Is there a way to tell what wood is what?
