Hey Nebbie a couple suggestions.

1. Don't rely on a screw to hold the pilots in position. I did, and they both loosened up on the first flying day. At the end of my first flight, I could actually see the backseater spinning around while flying. Plus they're fairly fragile, and I found cracks in them from tightnening the screw down. I used double sided tape, and screws, to hold them, and it will get tested today.

2. When you run the engine, put the wing on or tape some saran wrap across the wing opening. I have an exhaust extension and I was breaking in on a picnic table, and as soon as I started the engine I realized that I was gonna get oil on my unprotected wood there.

3.. If you haven't put the windshields on yet, be carefull with the H/W.... it just goes thru balsa sheeting. I CA's the screw threads to make them stronger, and wound up gettin a CA fog on the corner of one of the shields.

I had to move the battery back aft of the servo compartment to make mine balance with an AX on it.

Congratulation on winning Model of the Month!

Let the guy know who maidens it to get the tail wheel up off the ground ASAP on takeoff. Much easier that way.

I bought some 3" scale wheels, I'm gonna put the on with the smooth hubcap out.... they look just about the right size.
