Thanks guys. I will do it tonight and report back as soon as I can.

I am using Elmer's ProBond wood glue throughout the constructions along with epoxy where needed and quick CA to tack parts before using wood glue or epoxy.

ECM: Yes, it is square shaped fuselage.
SST: thanks for warm comments. I dont think the Hobby Shack kit is top notch well thought out. I had to do several modifications to build it properly. For instance, the plan calls for using hard wood strip to connect two elevators together. Well, I had to cut a notch in the fuselage to allow that wooden strip to pivot properly without binding. Nothing in the plans shows that. Its just one of many "headache" of problem solving sessions.
Mode 1: No, the kit didnt come with instruction manual. It was given to me by my brother who looked into it and had a case of heebies jeebies. He claimed that it never got one although there is "generic" assembly instructions printed on the plans.


Regards,

Chuck
