RE: dazzler
Hi dazz a ler,
I had a Dazzler about 4 years ago and can honestly say that it is the easiest plane from kit that I have ever built. It was the third plane that I had built from a kit and I had it from the box into the air in about 3 and half weeks. The only fairly tricky part was the rounded turtle deck. Do yourself a favor and get some chalk like the instructions say and it will be quite easy. Another suggestion I might make is to mount the engine on it's side so the exhaust is pointing down to save exhaust residue on the top of the wing. I literally wore my plane out. The covering eventually lifted and the wood got soaked with fuel and that was all she wrote. I used an OS 40 FX in mine and found it to be a very good match for this plane. Good luck and have fun. The Dazzler is a really fun plane that will give you a good bang for your buck.
