Default RE: GP Shoestring pointers

Primary inspection shows a few wrinkles. I suspect they will draw out easily under a little heat and were probably the result of a very cold transit. All in all I am very impressed with the quality of this ARF.[8D] The parts are individually wrapped and seperated by cardboard inserts where necessary. Hardware out the wazoo. Geez, so many pieces, so little time.

Gathered from this thread are the following pointers:

1. Beef up Landing gear support.
2. Glass the wing joint.
3. Watch for cockpit/fuselage gap. Prepare to seal with covering.
4. Raise wheel pants if possible for use off grass.
5. Use long approaches with low glide path for bleeding off excess speed for landing.
6. Use caution and care on decal placement. May require some yellow under patches where decals cross red stripes.
7. Pin cowl blocks for added support.
8. Beware the bouncy landings. Be ready to go around again.
9. Keep some Cub Yellow covering on hand for patches.
10. Have fun flying this plane!

Did I miss anything?
