Hi Scot

OK the "2" must be a typo in the parts list. Only one rear hold down block is required. The instructions on page 20 alluding to only one rear block are correct. There are other errors in the parts list, mostly missing parts, at least in mine.

The wood and die cutting in mine were good, but it was an early kit. My wife bought it for me in about 97. I've heard that the die cutting on resent kits was bad. My wing came out straight and true no problems. I built the 72 inch because I didn't like all the splicing required to make the 80 inch. I joined the wings upside down and flat on the board so that the thickness taper would give a slight amount of effective dihedral.

On the rudder I used a Hitec 60588 in a push pull set up. The 60588 is a LARGE servo. On the ailerons I used two HS605 hi torqs. On the elevators two airtronics 94102s (normal cheapos).

The fuse was a struggle to keep straight because the planking wasn't perfectly matched in weight and grain. Using 8 combination squares as jigs helped and it came out straight.
