Holidays are over so I have time to get to putting my SSE kit together. Since I completed my LT-40 at the end of the summer and I'm still learning to solo on that plane I can take my time building this one... I also live in the NW - wee bit rainy here at the moment so good flying weather is a few months away.

Learned a lot from my LT-40 build so I am excited to build this one with a little more experience under my belt.



I noticed that this kit has far less material than the LT-40 and a lot less ply material for the fuselage. Nice that they roll the plans for this kit as well (LT-40 plans were folded).

Have an O.S. .46 AX for the engine and Futaba Flight Pack w/R127DF Rx & (5) S3004 Servos w/ (2) 6" extensions.

Haven't figured out what color scheme I'm gonna go with yet.

Here is the list of mods I'd like to do in this build:

o Sheet the turtle deck
o Custom cowl for the engine (rotate the engine 90 - inspiration inspired by this)
o Larger control surfaces(maybe counters)

That's about it at this time. Gonna dig some more into the SSE threads on this board in the next few days.

Tonight I just sorted the hardware into the small tackle box at the top right corner of the pic and checked out the materials in the kit.

Gonna get the room setup into build mode tomorrow night and get to building!
