RE: Bird Dog Build
Hi, Wild. Have had goo results with that specific kit with my novice engineering students!
One modification we usually make, not necessary tho, is to make a center section to the wing, and glue up the wing as one piece, instead of trusting it to stay tacked to the cabin. Not much, just a leading and trailing edge and a stringer carried thru, and relive the to of the cabin sides to match.
