Default RE: OTOP PICS!!!

It goes together quick and if you've ever done a CA aircraft, this is really the same deal. A couple of things I noticed are that the paint won't hold up to use of denatured alchohol too well. It bleeds off a little bit of color if you wipe it down after epoxying the control horns, so it's better to try to mask off the surface around the horn, slot through the tape and then just lift the tape after gluing. The only thing I really had to change after assembly was those little plastic chin cowl holders. Mine both snapped off and I just replaced them with metal screws. I had to add a couple of ounces of lead in the nose and it went in the chin cowl, which is probably why the plastic holder didn't hold up.
