Your going to love this plane after 22 years of building kits this was one of my first ARF's, and it was vary well built .

I did tinker a bit (just an old habit) like BGI I did not like the tail wheel and used a Sullivan(great engineered product)not cheep but anything good never is. I also took a 3/4x1/16 aluminum bar stock and reinforced the aluminum landing gear I thought the stock gear was a little soft.

Pay close attention to the Fire Wall I have noticed most arf,s are not gluing the fire wall vary well(well not up to my standards anyway) put some epoxy and triangle stock on the back side. Please use epoxy or dope to do a better job on fuel proofing the fire wall ( I use 3 coats of dope)and make sure you get the seams sealed.

Good luck!
