I started on that plane and am now flying an evolution of it.

The plane out of the box needs different landing gear, espically the nose gear. Get a dubro nose gear and put it on first thing or else you will be fighting steering issues. The stock gear bends like a paper clip and there isn't enough turns on the spring, so the front wheel is about 1/2" off center with every thing straight. It's install a new gear, or buy the props by the dozen.

Second bash I would do is to make new elevators, about 3/8" to 1/2" wider than the stock, scratch the 3/8", 1/2" minimum. At landing speed, there isn't enough athority with the stock elevators.

Wing incidence is off. Get some popcicle sticks and build a three high platform under the rear wing hold down screws.

Speaking of the hold down screws, deep six the blind nuts and the little screws. Drill and tap the block for 1/4-20 nylon bolts.

Other than the hardware that comes with the kit isn't so great, that's it.

I totaled my fuselage on the top rail of a 2x6 board rail fence. From there, I built a new fuselage, on the stick design and lengthened the wing to rudder length by two inches and then added 1 1/2" between the wing and firewall. I also made the plane a tail dragger. I had fun flying that one, until I lost it to the creek monster. I had a spare wing, so I built a second and was trying to learn inverted flight and, well as they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Now with a good fuselage and no wing, I scaled down the 4*60 wing and I am ready to test flight it Monday. I love the way the 4 * flys, so I'm hoping this latest evolution is as good.
