Well, there's certainly alot of postings about this aircraft here so mine will probably get lost amongst the herd, lol...

Anyway, I've read about balance issues, engine issues, wing attachment woes and landing gear plate failures. Sounds like everyone is more than willing to overcome the many challenges Hanger 9 has allowed to exist in this ARF. Must really BE a superior flyer!

So, my post is a tad different in that my "kit" came with two left wing panels and no hardware other than the tank, landing gear and wheels. I knew this going into the purchase but the price was right so I bought in.

Here are a few photos of how I'm getting my US 60 airworthy:

These photos show how easily the trim covering can be removed to repair the crushed ribs that are oh-so-common with this selection.
A little thin CA and activator makes short work of the ribs...I simply glued the pieces back together and inserted back into the ribs. The servo tray was now on the top,(unacceptable) so I trimmed the balsa away and epoxied a 1/8" poplar ply servo plate in place. A little sanding and filler and it will be ready to reapply the transparent covering I peeled off.
