thanks dbacque, I have read through your thread before buying the kit and I just read it through again for good measure. I guess I am just a little leary about cutting on the wrong part. Its not really that big a deal but if I don't have the stick in stock that I need it just means a trip to the hobby shop. I usually end up getting more than I intend to.

Rainedave, I don't know if it will help either but it sure wouldnt hurt. I would like to read it. Every little bit helps.

This kit is a new experience for me. I have built a top flite kit and I learned a few "what not to do's". I am just trying to get into SPA since a few member keep prodding me to do so. This year I would rather be flying at Hotlanta rather than working at Hotlanta.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure I will have more questions later.
