Just figured I get a build thread started for everyone..... I am sure this is going to be a popular plane.

Some Pics of the Kit...



The fuse is nicely made, and quite scale looking.. And, yes, the feathers are airfoiled they are nicely covered!!














I can forget about the zenoah.... doesn't look like you will be able to encase anything in there but the rcv cd91 or the sp series

really nice looking cowl!!!

I think I will end up with a 125 saito, or a ys 110/120





The spinner is very nice and worth it. The plane doesn't come with a spinner,, unless you get the optional pictured one.




The only damage was to the airscoop sheet... looks as if the landing gear crushed it during transport, or someone stepped on it at the factory..... I spoke to Don at KMP,,, who was quite helpful, he will send me a new one shortly,,, they should be getting parts in in about six weeks or so. I am glad to deal with a company that has good customer service!!!! They have been on the money with their timing so far,,,



The hardware included is above average for an arf. I was impressed that the gear doors are wooden and of good quality..



The landing gear is 90 degree,,, don't know if i am going to use it,,,, it has a spring retract mechanism,,, only uses air pressure in one direction...... the wing dihedral and shimming is probably what gives the scale look/wheel location...

Has anyone used this type of retract before??? is it reliable???? Don at KMP said that they will be offering scale robart retracts shortly.... Kind of feel that they should not include these retracts.... you should have the option of getting them from who you want...

over all, really great arf... cant wait to get it flying..... KMP/YT has outdone themselves this time.

Let me know if anyone would like any more pics of anything before I get started...
