Alpha,

An OS .10 FSR? Now that is a nice engine for this little plane. That will be a noticeable contrast to the .10 LA engines. I believe my Kiwi neighbors would say one handles like a porche and the other a Yank Tank. That's a nice shot of your engine compartment. Nice and clean. It should shape up nicely.

What kits can you get reasonably down there? With all the kits coming out of Asia these days, it seems like you would have access to those at a reasonable price. That shipping is a killer. Your prices, are they NZ dollars? $63 seems very high for these little kits. But the $32 price for the kit is right on, and if that is in NZ dollars, then it is a very good price. At least the NZD is doing well against the USD. I recall when my neighbors moved in it was 2 to 1.

I'll try to post some new pictures tonight.
