Rodger, Like you, I received my Tri-Pacer kit last week and am very pleased with the over all quality. It will be a few weeks before I can start building but I think it will be a fun build and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm kicking around the idea of making mine an electric but nothing definite because I have no electric experience. How are you planning to power yours? If I don't go the electric route, I will use a Four Stroke for sure. I will be watching for your photos........RS
