Hi. I'm currently building one myself. There seems to be alot to do to get the plane ready to fly. I've strengthened the fuse bottom as advised with some light ply. Added a piece of light poplar for the 1/4 20 blind nuts and plastic bolts for the gear. I've come up with a method of mounting the tank which I believe is the one item the company should correct on newer models. There's basicly no way to mount it.[:'(] I'm gonna post how I did it in my own thread. I hope to fly it this weekend if all goes well. Sounds like you're satisfied with yours.
