Thanks for the info. That is a good read. I did not double the glass on the center section of the wing although it crossed my mind.

With the ailerons, I got two mismatches parts. One weighed 2 oz and the other wieghed 5.5 oz. They sent another aileron that was about 2.25 oz so I was happy. I think the wood and die quality of this kit sux. There were many parts that you could not either pop out or figure out the actual line to cut due to the wood getting crushed instead of cut. I have a slight warp in both wings. With root being at 0, the center of each panel is washed in .2 degrees and the tip is washed out .5 degrees. I do not think it will adversley affect me. Not sure if this was due to the sticks not being straight or due to my building board.

As far as weight goes, with all my calculations, I think it may come in around 8.75 to 9.25 lbs with the Saito 150. I have a tuned pipe for the Saito to, but I will do the test flight without it.

I will look into reenforcing the landing block. I would hate for that to fail. I am considering remaking the landing gear to save weight. The original gear is so long at it could clear a 24" prop. I will only run 16-18" prop.

I am building the 80" versoin. Which did you build?
