I think you are right about the hardwood blocks, I'm just a little puzzled as to why there were no instructions for adding them.

I agree that it is a floater and it doesn't need flaps, I just want the experience of building them and practice using the radio to engage them.

I'm trying to take 'baby steps' learning to fly a warbird so I want the procedures to be close. I know this in no way will fly like a warbird but it will give me some basic low-wing taildragger experience to grow upon.
