Just an update on my build so far.... I have scrapped the idea of the Irvine .46 and stuck an ASP .61 4stroke in it (sounds beautiful, came in the first post today ), I had to buy a new cowl as I had already cut it for the Irvine. I have taken the advice about extra epoxy in the mentioned areas and my next step is to glass the wing joint. This is my 3rd ARF and I am taking my time with the build, mainly cos we fly off a grass strip ATM and it is V bumpy and pitted, our club is moving to a new field (end of Feb ish) and the grass strip has been prepared with the gratest of care (thanks go to the owner for all his hard work ). So until we move I have no inclination to fly it just yet, although I really want to NOW!! I have also bought an ali spinner as this really sets off the good looks of this plane. I have installed a remote glow and a hobbico remote fueler. Just need to install the radio gear and check the CG...........
