Default Styrocraft Challenger#2 Build thread

As if I don't have enough work to do trying to get my Curare Kit together before the BPA meet, I've decided to put together an old obscure kit I found on Ebay a while back. It's an oddball for sure, as I can't find any info on it or the maker (Sonny Micheals). Spec's are: Wingspan 63" Weight: 6 3/4lbs, .60 engine. It's got a styrofoam core fuselage covered with 1/8th" ply, a foam core wing and horizontal stab. The wing is swept back 5 degrees from what I can measure with, NO dihedral. All I have to work with is a box full of foam and wood, a FUZZY picture, and a hand typed instruction sheet. I have an Evolution .61 laying around and am going to see if I can get it to fit in it. Here's a couple of pics to get an idea of what I've got to work with. I anticipate a few mods to get the Evolution to fit and also needing some advice along the way! Tim
