Hi Guys,
I just received my Macchi last week and started working on it
this evening. The first thing I did was to cut a plywood firewall
and epoxy it over the stock firewall so as to reinforce it. After
reading that post about the firewall shattering after a hard landing,
I won't take any chances. The kit is good looking but some of the
plastic appears flimsy and I'm probably going to give some of the
fuse joints the onceover with some CA. I have an Enya 50CX to
put on it and will mount it upright. Hopefully, I can get it flying
in the next week or two and give a pilot report.
