Hi Dave,
Ran across this foto of my King Kobra (w/ HB .61 PDP) from '97 so thought I'd take a digital pic and then see if I could post it. It was given to me in rough shape and I felt it needed "restored" before I could fly it. And since it was heavy, one thing led to another- all the covering came off, took a carving knife and 80 grit block the fuse corners and leading/trailing edges. It had mechanical retracts and since it was still too heavy, I moved the mains forward and pulled out the nose gear before re-monokoting the whole thing. Would have been a lot easier to have just started with a fresh kit. Yea- maybe sacreligeous as a tail-dragger, but it looked the same in the air! Have fun with yours!
