I am building this craft also, as a first attempt from plans, because it looked relatively easy to build and fly, and is a trainer type that will suit dodos like me. It is great fun but you need to be aware of significant traps and difficulties. You will come across discrepencies in the plans compared to the text and pictures in the magazine. The elevator will not work unless you put a notch in the fin, as per one of the photos. A lot of information is missing and needs to be filled in through common sense and a bit of inventiveness. For example the text says to fill in between the wing spars with scrap balsa, but the plans do not show what is meant. A photograph showed only some of the inter-rib spaces were so filled. This is needed for strength near the wing roots where the greatest forces are. I found that prior reading up on aerodynamics was a great help in determining what things were important and what were not. Most of the stuff I read was on the internet and some from magazines.
