Matt,

It will be interesting to see how it compares to a .40-size glow powered trainer which is the target market. With the supervision of a seasoned pilot, it has the potential to eliminate several of the learning pains that are associated with glow engine reliability, kitting a covered balsa kit, and component assembly complexity. The tricycle gear allow for smoother take-offs and landings by less skilled pilots.

Speaking of the tricycle gear, the first step in assembly is to mount the wheels on the gear mains and steerable nose leg. A stabilizer wire is connected between the gear mains for extra shock absorption on those not so smooth landings. I used Locktite on all the wheel collar hex screws.
