Looks real good. Should be a dynamite flyer.

Couple of things you may want to do before you do its' maiden.

Re-enforce the inside of the fuselage where the leading edge of the wing is. It is a weak spot and the fuselage may crack there on anything but a perfect landing. (Dont ask how I know about that )

Check the firewall. MANY of the ARFS are coming through with firewall just butt glued to the fuselage sides AND with hot glue. If you don't see any re-enforcement on the rear of the firewall, I would epoxy in some basswood tri stock (the U-CAN-DO is VERY well known for this firewall problem. A friend had the firewall on his U-Can-Do pop out the first time he started the engine )
