I have a 1/5 scale Piper PA-11 kit I bought from Ikon about 13 years ago. The wings went together very nicely and easily. The tail is basically a scratch build affair since it's all sticks and user created laminated bows. The fuse is a cross between the two. It is very heavily built and I did a lot of re-engineering. The nose is the most intriguing part as the builder is completely left to their own imagination on how to make the PA-11 cowl fit on the J-3 airframe. Very basic suggestions are given and just a little extra work on the kit could have made this part much simpler. OTOH, I have emailed and talked to Emil several times and he has given me direction which resulted in a very good looking end result. The model sat in a corner for nearly 7 years due to the amount of head scratching required to get it to this point, but I am getting ambitious again. Some day, I'll finish it. Right now, all of those sticks look good just framed up
