Tim,
Built and flew this kit several years ago. Don't remember the details but it flew rather well. It's light enough (fixed gear) and was overpowered with HB .40's (remember those?). I built it to plan except I remember wanting the nacelles to have no side thrust. It did tend to drop off on one wing when stalled at altitude, I never determined if it was due to the wing shape or if I simply didn't have the engines matched at idle. Either way it was not a problem, just didn't get it that slow until in the flare for landing.
I'd say its a good first twin project, have fun.
Paul
