HI Alex,

I made the previous comments before I got to your post, so I answered your questions already.

I just weighed my Saito 56. It weighs in slightly over 16 oz while a 46 AX is listed as 17.2 oz, so that should help with the weight and balance issue.

Looks like it'll be a tail dragger after all.

Some of your comments sound like mods that I made to my old Four-Star 40, except for the fuel tank. Thanks for the reminders/tips. I think I'll keep the stock fuel tank, though. I usually get tired of flying before I run out of fuel with my .56 and an 8-oz tank.

I'm starting to collect photos for a finishing scheme... Do any of you other MS builders have photos of your planes???
