Built one a couple months ago. Here's what I remember about the experience...

Good kit, wood well cut, no discrepancy between the parts, the pictures, the manual, the plan, etc... Not like my second kit, the GP cub 40...

Need some CA accelerator for the fuse mainly: CA does not stick too well on plywood, and the fuse is all plywood...

Since you will most likely use too much CA (I did too!), use foodwrap stuff rather than wax paper...

Tends to be tail heavy so keep that servo tray close to the front.

Epoxy the servo tray supports, mine came unglued in a rough landing. No problem since.

If you tap the holes in the engine mount, go slow... I broke the tap in the 4th hole...

The screw that holds the front landing gear wire/collar assembly needs to be replaced: it is made of a soft metal and the threads get messed up real fast.

I used regular hinges (with a real pin) on it and cutting the slot and epoxying them is not easy and rather messy. I would probably use CA hinges now, the slots are a lot easier to make.

You want to follow the Manual advice and fill in the area where the stab is glued to the fuse, then epoxy it. My stab came loose twice on rough landings.

I use an OS 40 LA and it is just enough power. It could use a little more.

I would stay away from 5 min epoxy, especially when joining the wings. At least 15 min or even 30 min.

Use epoxy rather than CA (the fumes!!!) for the fiberglass reinforcement of the wing. Dilute with 90% isopropyl alcohol until it has the consistency of motor oil. Cut the edges of the fiberglass cloth before applying it or you will have a ridge once the epoxy cures.

It is easy and fast to build, looks fairly good for a trainer and is a lot of fun to fly. I recommend that kit!

Good luck,
