How about some tips on building the cap since so many of us got this plane at such a great price.
One thing that I did on mine was when the directions have you install the dowl rod support plates inside the fuse I made a one piece plate out of 1/4 ply that measure about 1" by 6". I used the 1/4 ply because of all the reports of the stock plates wearing out the hole. Just lay the plate up to the dowl rods on the wing, mark and drill. I then layed the wing into place on the plane and checked the fit of the one piece plate. Once satisfied with the fit I marked the plate with the fuse so the wing was centered. I then used 15 min epoxy, and glued the plate in place with the wing installed. The wing helped to hold the plate in place. After the glue had started to set up alittle I removed the wing being careful not to move the plate. This seemed alot easier then the book and a hole lot stronger
Thats my tip, How about some more from the rest of the cap gang.
