RE: P-6E Curtis hawk (build thread)
I received my Great Planes P-6E on Wednesday and have the wings assembled. Kit is very complete and really well built. Looks to be all laser cut balsa and light ply. So far the wing halves match perfectly with each other. I would rather have the aileron servos laying down in the wing with just the servo arm protruding out of a slot in the mounting plate. Also should be noted that since the aileron servo extension plugs are out in the open and in the airflow that the connections should be secured to each other so they wont get unplugged during flight. Only thing I might change is the wheels need to be more robust for a model this size and the top wing should have three red stripes on it instead of two. Painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants look great. Great Planes just keeps getting better and better. It's getting to the point that for general flying it isn't worth the trouble to build kits anymore. More later as I get further along.
