Great tips by Dr. Wogz, I differ in that I suggest you keep the wing span the same, and only use the inner 1/2 of the strip Al. for "Flaps" I did that and the plane lands and rolls very well. I second the comment about reinforcing the leading edge of the wing, it's very weak. Sheet it back to the first spar top and bottom. ALSO build yourself a stronger DH brace for the wing center section, running it out at least 1 bay farther on each side. I also put a second DH brace about 1/3 of the way back, by thinning the Sig brace.

Don't be tempted to increase the Al. th. because you are only using 1/2 of the "Plan" Al. The plane will roll very quickly with the stock th. because of the loss of drag from the inner 1/2. I suggest covering it in "Micafilm" because it is very strong, and 1/2 the weight of Monocoat. The only problem with Micafilm is you need to Paint "Balsarite" on any surface your plan on ironing down, as Micafilm as no adhesive. I really like the way Micafilm looks.

I put 2" wing tips on mine because I did not care for the "Chopped Off" look of the stock wing. Also the canopy looks bad, do go with an after market one, or cut down the Sig canopy. I also went to nylon bolts to hold the gear, and would definitely follow the previous gear recommendations.

You will like the kit, it builds easily and the plane flies great.
