Lowlevlflyer,
Good Luck! I think that you'll love this plane. I just did the maiden on mine last week and I've already put about 12 flights on it. I enjoy flying it much more than my Kadet Senior (although that was a great plane to learn on). I've got a Thunder Tiger Pro 61 mounted horizontal, Bison Pitts style muffler, 12x6 Master Airscrew prop, Sullivan Tailwheel and a Balsa cowl on mine. Here's a couple of pics.
