Default RE: Beechcraft Staggerwing Kit

I'm about 50% to 60% done with drawing the plans for 1/6 D17S. Once I get all the parts drawn up, I can send the file out to a laser cutter. What I'm working on will be a little more scale-like than a sport scale model, but not a full-on mega detailed scale model. After all, I'm building it to fly it and if I put too much time and energy into a model, I get too afraid to fly it. The old addage, "if you fly them, you're going to crash them" seems to always hold true for me. It's a true 1/6 scale (64" wingspan) and will probably get the 1.20 Saito I have laying around mounted to the nose. I've also got a 1.50 Saito laying around but I don't think it'll need that much motor.
