This kit is quite a challenge. I just started assembly on my cessna. I am doing fiberglass covering also. Using Klass Kote, and is working out real well. I bought a os 120 w/pump to power it. Have had good luck with the os engines. I am duplicating my kit. Making 2nd set of parts to build along with the main kit. I really don't know why I'm doing this. I have always liked the lines of this airplane. I want do a different color scheme on the second. Oh. by the way . there are some great tips on this web site on inproving and stengthing the structure in certain areas. Check it out. Rich Zaggia
