Well, I took the Brio out of the box Friday night, at the urging of my 6 year old son. Did more in a weekend with this kit than I thought I could do. Great kit with not a lot to do to get it together. The FOCUS I was pretty easy, and the FOCUS II was easier, but this is not an ARF. Still, I've been pleasantly surprised at the progress.

The first thing I did was check the wing fit. I sanded the left wing adjuster a little as it was a bit tight going on. This took care of it so now the wings slip on and off easily. I did take the right wing adjusters out, put a dab of epoxy on it and put it back in, not tightening it until the epoxy was just about cured. That took care of the slight gap that was on the top of the adjuster while making the wing so it now slides on and off with no friction.

Next, I put a few plywood pieces to re-inforce the landing gear plate. This is really simple. Just get a knife blade and slip it along the ply pieces that are mounted and the knife edge punches up through the deck in exactly the right spots.

I'll post some pictures.
