I have not built this kit but they are out there. We have one at our field and guy is a normal ARF buyer however he made a good effort at this because of its resemblence to the older style pattern planes. The only thing I would suggest is spend some time fitting the cowl. His cowl was poorly fitted, it didnt line up with the spinner, and it looked bad. He had a inverted OS 46FX in the plane, and I was surprised how well this engine idles when inverted. Plane would look good with retracts but his didn't have them.
