Pundi,

I won't start working on mine yet either. I have too much going at the moment and since I want to give that little Cessna full attention, I want to clear the workshop of other things. Before I start, I need to finish the 1/5 Pepsi Chipmunk I have been building, I have a Curare60 "in the bones" and I also have a 33% Super Decathlon from Wendell Hostetler plans half built

I ordered the kit and the extras from Tower. The Robart gear (which is a piece of art) cost USD$57 I think. I think it's well worth the expense.

I am planning to try to modify the Cessna in a similar way as Paul (SDCrashmeister) has done where the wing meets the fuselage. I still haven't worked out the details of how exactly I expect to do it but the first thing will be to run a few copies of the plans and then work out the modifications on the copies rather than scribble all over the original plans.

I had been thinking about glassing. Caffeenman has posted some excellent tips on glassing on his website but I have never glassed before. Before attempting that, I may have to build some structures to practice glassing. The Cessna kit is too nice to make a mess of with bad glassing.
