Has anyone assembled/flown this plane? What were the flight characteristics, modifications, etc.

I have started assembling mine and have made the following mods: Stronger spar joiner, braced the rear main gear block with triangle stock, and used a more conventional main gear instead of the stork legs up front. A center dowel and wing bolts to hold the wing down instead of the rubber bands. Epoxied or thin c/a'd everything i could reach on the fuse.

Any other tips would be appreciated. I plan on powering mine with an os 32 and macs pipe, 11/3 or 11/4 APC prop, and use standard servos(are those too weak to handle the large surfaces???)

I read the thread on the other reallly slow message board, and there seemed to be a 50/50 split on feelings towards this plane, with a weak spot in the fuse.

Hope to hear some info (good/bad/or indifferent) soon,
Thanks,
Steve
