I'm already thinking of doing another... HAHA. Haven't even finished the first one yet.
But I'm taking notes, and I know I can do a much better job, on the next one. I can
already see improvements in my build so far...

I've been thinking of some mods.

1. Strengthen the Firewall.
2. Different Landing Gear, I want more clearance.
3. Different Tail wheel.
4. Larger Rudder. Is it hard to do, and how do I go about it?
5. Sheeting the Turtle deck. I'm looking for info on how to do this as well.
6. Tinting the Canopy.

My initial Engine will be a Super Tigre 45. I have one laying around not being used.
I have on my Trainer, and I know they have tons of power. This should be a lighter
plane than my trainer, so I should not have any power problems.
I figure I'll try it and see. I'm looking forward to putting a Saito 72/82 in someday.
Right now, it is in my Cap. I really like the Saito, maybe I can save up, beg, and plead, and
get another... If I had the money, I would put Saito engines in all my planes.

Oh, almost forgot the update. RH wing 98% done, needs sanding, and J hook install.
I'll start the LH wing tomorrow.

My wife has been watching the build progress, and I've been
getting here involved, asking her to sew the weight bags, etc... I have also asked her
about dying the canopy, I know nothing about dying things, and she dyes her hair
all the time, HAHA, anyway, I think I may have found a great strategy by getting
her involved in my project. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the tips, and support, keep em coming.
