O.K. Finished and flown.

Minus's-
Had to cut cooling hole in bely pan. Had to do major surgery to nose to get my E-flite 480 outrunner to fit. The gear were too short to give good clearance for 12x6 prop. Alignment issues stated above.

Pluses-
FLIGHT PERFORMANCE! I really like the way it flies. Tracks real steady for a small plane. The wing loading is a little higher than other planes in this class, and that is probably an asset. The airfoiled tail surfaces didn't hurt either.

I am not using the included spinner. It is realy a gas model spinner, and I wanted to leave the front of the motor open to the air flow. I'll try an 11x8 for the next flight.
