Default Byron Wedell Williams Racer Build

Well here we go on a start to finish build of the Wedell Williams Racer. This is my first Byron kit and all I can say is WOW. The glass work is stunning, all parts bagged and inventoried. Source material will come from several websites that discuss the Wedell brothers and the book "Wedell-Williams Air Service" By Robert Hirsch and Barbara Schultz. I have the decal set for the Red Lion #121 but the #44 scheme looks really good too.

Power will be a G62. Probably Duralite lithium batteries at 6volts. Servos not chosen yet.

Any comments, suggestions, improvements are welcome. Not much on the boards about this plane with no prior build thread so I'm hoping to get a lot of info in here.
