I found the building very enjoyable. I didn't like having to paint the canopy. I had no trouble with the rear deck. I fly from grass and built some offset in the gear plate as opposed to shimming. I had zero ground handling issues off grass. I used pants from a SE kit and they have held up well. I have a cowl from Stan's. I used a Saito 100 and 15x6 APC. Rear mounted rudder servo and the battery is pretty far aft.
