Thanks fellows I think I will give it a try and put it on my Xmas list. Does anyone know if there is a mod that has been done in order to fix having to remove the cowl each time the wing is put on. keep them flying.
Check out the great mod SJN did on his GSP Yak 54 72". http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_21...mpage_3/tm.htm Keep in mind you won't be able to do exactly the same on the GSP Extra 72", as the "cockpit" is just a vacuum-formed thin plastic sheet. The Yak's cockpit is a fairly stout fiberglass piece.

BTW, the covering is genuine iron-on covering - not sticky-back shelf paper type. Even though GSP says it's low-temp, I've gone over it with an iron at typical Monocote/Ultracote temp settings and it seems to hold up just fine. I have seen other "low-temp" covering (Econocote, etc.) literally melt when you hit it with a iron at high-temp.
