C'mon Cyclic Hardover,
It sounds like he has already bought it. The stab being weak is well documented, along with the gear mounts, pushrods, and hardware package. Now that we all know that, lets be smart and fix it during the build. Just because TT or Ace has not come up with a fix dont tell him to avoid it. Lets tell him how to fix it. IF Dudeman283 is smart enough to glue two sticks together than he is smart enuff to fix the problem areas of the RB. It will be a great flying airplane for him if he does. My RB is my sunday flier with an os 160. BTW....the RB thread has 44 pages of good info on how to improve this bird, definately a must read prior to building. Dudeman283 I wouldnt be as concerned with having an underpowered 11 lb racer as I would be with making sure I have a structurally sound aircraft. Good luck
