njjd,

I've recently finished one in the manor described by David. There are pics in my gallery.
I just mounted a set of Goldberg glass-filled gear in front of the wing on the fuse with a lite-ply doubler holding blind nuts below the fuel tank.
I also added a doubler to the tail and mounted the tail wheel inthe same fashion.
I haven't flown it yet, but I'm optomistic!
