Hooray hooray!!!! I am happy for ya. And boy, they do look BIG when you first unroll them huh! hahahaha But the plans I got were on inferior paper. So I had a copy made. This also insures I can sell the origionals when I am done with them. I only got the wing plans, fuse. plans and stab plan copied. Only $37.00. I will recoup that when I sell them, and in the meantime I have much heaver paper to work on, and it is proving to be a "good thing". I am hard on the plans. I glue on them and I cut on them and I saw on them. I usually just have shreds of paper left. lol....

How long before the "Lizard" gets the kit back to you? However long it is, it will seem like, forever, huh! lol You got your plans pretty quick though. Mine took about three weeks to get here. It seems like you just ordered yours last week.....

I am still working on my stab./elev. and rudder/fin. I am waiting for my hi torq servos to get here. Since I am not planning on doing an exact scale model, I think I am going to put the servos in the fin and stab themselvs. Shorter/stronger rods. Heaven knows the plane is big enough to do it to. (You won't believe the size of the rudder when you get it built!) And the positions are shown on the plan for either way. I think I am going to go for the pylon racer look. Not absoutly sure yet, but I have always liked watching the Reno races, the 51s my fav.s of course.

You won't believe the size of the canopy and the cowl when you get them either.

I know it will seem like forever, but hang in there. Your kit will come. Best of luck and good building to you.
