I am in the middle of constructing a tail-dragger Seniorita as well (first build after 18year layoff). Fuselage is 80% framed. LG is 40 size Dural Gear, stock mains but with a small Ohio Superstar tail wheel set (plan to do pull-pull). Wing is 95% done; stock (no ailerons) and will use rubber-band hold down. I have a second Seniorita kit on hand and plan to build a second wing with ailerons (probably strip) and less dihedral (est: ~1/3 of original). Power will be a used OS .40LA.
