Cool!! Thanks so much!!

Now onto the model. I have a total of 10 hours into this plane now. The fuse it just about ready for sheeting and carving. The only problem is I don't have any carving blocks, so I'll have to get that.

I've never used retracts before and so it would be pointless to do any more work on it until I have retracts. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Would GP's cheap mechanical retracts work?

I don't have many motors laying around.(Hey! I'm only 19) I'd love to run the O.S. Wankels, but at this time I'm a low budget builder/pilot. I'm thinking the O.S. .25 FX, but maybe the .25 LA.

Spun aluminum cowls for this plane are a bit hard to come by, so looking at the current state of models, there's got to be a .40 size Yak54 cowling out there. I don't have any experience making my own 'glass cowls, so I'll have to buy it.

I'll be using Monokote for the finish as it's the best stuff out there. I had thought about painting with roof paint, but this plane looks to have a nice chrome finish.
