I'm seriously considering the purchase of one of these Dynaflite S.E.5a kits. I was looking forward to reading a full build thread on it, but it seems that this thread has kind of died off.

It was mentioned that the tail area needs to be beefed up for landings on grass fields. Does anyone have any pictures of the mods they did to this area? I'm not a real experienced builder (at least, not with balsa), so I'm still at a point where I will happily steal other people's good ideas.

Another question is about engine choice. If a .91 FS is on the low end of the power range, and a 1.20 is overkill, then is there a good choice halfway between? A Saito .100, perhaps? I currently fly electric, so I'm still trying to get "up to speed" on IC engines. Any suggestions or information is most welcome.
