Forgive the mess in the pictures. I got done and took the pics without cleaning up first.
I enjoyed the build. It took about 2 weeks with my limited time, so someone with time available could probably do it in a few days. The quality of the kit is very nice, but some of the parts are VERY thin and very breakable. For example, the fuel tank mount is two very thin pieces of webbed balsa. Just inserting the fuel tank I heard a crack at almost every push. I ended up sanding the mount very lightly so that the tank finally went through.
The landing gear looks very flimsy. Doesn't feel like it's heavy enough to handle even a slightly hard landing.
The rudder bowed down a little so I had to cut off a good 1/4 inch with a mitre saw and then sand it until it sat flush on both sides.
I'm using my OS 46AX in it which I took out of my Avistar, and I'll be putting the TT .46 Pro into The Avistar as a replacement. Prop is 12x4.
A few other little annoyances, but all in all it was fun. Just more experience before I start my Four Star 60 kit.
Everything on the radio is set for 50% throws on low rates, and the flaperons are set to 25%. I will take some more pics when the weather gets nicer, but these will have to do for now.
Thanks to Bruce (again) for having patience with me and answering my questions!
