I think the worst part on this build was the wings. I bought a piece of shelving, cut it in half, and let the fuselage hang between the two pieces of shelving. Then the wing construction went easy. It was my fifth kit and not too bad after I read the destructions about 20 times. Came out nose heavy with a .15. I also cheated on the ailerons and used aileron stock instead of sanding the boards in the kit. I moved a servo back to get the balance point back a bit, helped but could go back just a touch more. I will not add weight. I have a 40 Shrike on the build pile and YS45re for it.
Take care, MikeB
