Since I can't find a Blue Angels, Aurora or Curare kit(s), and I doubt that 8178 would sell me his (wonder if there are parts for a 2nd...) I had pretty much given up on trying to get a Classic Pattern Plane flying. But while I was up here in NJ at a flying event, my friend Paul Papendrea (hope I spelled that right) was trying to sell a RTF Tipo (Giezen... retracts and OS-60) we started talking about the classics. He happened to mention that he has a Miss Norway kit and a Trouble Maker kit. Never heard of the Miss Norway, but my dad had a Trouble Maker kit, so I knew that one. I am now the proud owner of the Trouble Maker kit.

Anyone have any thoughts, ideas, comments on any possible changes/improvements that might be needed to improve the plane or building of it? I hope to have it flying for the Tangerines in December. And if you have any pics of one, please feel free to post them. I haven't decided on a scheme yet, and didn't see a pic of the wing/tail on/in the kit.

Thanks,
Jason
