Yea, I remember VERY WELL what it took to build my Mach.
Even if it was almost 30 years ago.
Once the fuselage is "framed up", it looked like a piece of lumber from the lumber yard!
Then, templates were used at various stations along the length.
I learned how to use a wood plane by the time it was"roughed in".
Midwest balsa, (in their kits) was not the best in the 70's.
Remember there were no Great Paines power planers at that time.
But once finished, it flew quite well.
All was nice and smooth with a stock .60 Tigre Bluehead.
Then I got the idea to move up to the ABC Bluehead with Perry pump/carb.
So while this change was in the works, I decided to add a tuned pipe.
This setup gave nothing but power... To cause aileron flutter....
Yea, what memories.... But GOOD memories....
