I had the 80" wingspan Texan II from vmar. As far as building it went, the cowl needed a lot of work and I used a different motor mount. The covering started to bubble after a while but if you ran your hands across it they would smooth out. As far as flying went, it was awsome. It is very stable and easy to fly. It slows to a crawl witht the flaps down and looked great on low passes. I didn't put the retracts on it but wish I did. I had a magnum 1.08 with a pitt muffler which was plenty of power. Unfortunately one of my aileron servos failed and she bit the dust.
