I will combine the replies in just one post here so as not to take up alot of space, LOL.
spd37 - Yes this is his first kit and he has not learned to fly just yet. As soon as I get my trainer back in shape I am gonna let him have at it for awhile. I think he is gonna power it with the OS46 FX, but please do not quote me on this.
flyingfever - Yes you can get in this as well as anyone. I think it is a sharp looking plane and have read a good amount of GOOD stuff about this plane. Also our LHS had highly recommended this as a good starter/second plane. Myself, I feel he should have started with a Trainer, but he chose that one. I also think he is gonna do it with the ailerons as well, but don't quote me on this either. I will let you know what he is gonna do as far as the ailerons are concerned as soon as I find out myself.
Minnflyer - I cannot agree with you more. I am building a G/P Extra 300S and it is fairly simple. But I have talked to a few others and said that is kinda of tricky when doing the fuselage. But have not had any trouble so far, but we will see here shortly. I am about to start the fuse here soon as soon as I finish the final repairs on my trainer. I have heard nothing but GREAT compliments on the Great Planes products and would love to have ALL Great Planes aircraft, but there are a few other aircraft I want that I don't think G/P makes.
I will keep all posted on the process of this plane and will definitely let you know how it flies as I would want to fly it myself, hehehe.
