Thanks Greg.

The plane seemed like a simple build. I thougth I would have some trouble getting the engine to mount on the firewall, but it wasn't that hard.

I ran into a snag the other day and I put the plane on hold for a few days. I cut the holes for the tail cables and push rods as stated in the manual. After running the pull-pull cables I noticed the cable was binding against the edges of the holes I cut. I remeasured them to see how I got it wrong. Even went back a few hours later and it still came out that I cut the holes like the manual stated.

So now I'm going to have to increse the size of the holes for the wires to move freely. I have to decide how I want to cover the HUGE hole in the sides of the plane. I could either glue in a piece of balsa or just put some covering over the hole.

I'll probably wind up putting a piece of balsa in so that it's done right.

So I won't be flying it this weekend, so maybe I can get it done this weekend and get it in the air next.

Not much left to do on it; belly pan still, canopy and radio gear. Oh yeah, and those darn holes.


I'll post a pic of the bottom of the cowl so you can see how much I had to cut out.
