I thought I would hate it, but once I had the plane together it sort of grew on me.

I would have never-the-less preferred something else.

Still, it's a nice ARF. Much easier to put together than the Everygreen ARFs as there is far less "fiddley" stuff needed.

Yeah the plastic pants are a pain, since epoxy and CA doesn't adhere to them. I ended up just using a larger light ply backing & screws to put them on after cutting out the holes to permit the installation of much larger wheels.

I also used the Dubro exit hole plastic inserts on the tail to dress up the holes that you are supposed to cut out.

This gives the rods & the pull-pull a smoother travel area while providing additional support, so there is less flex on the rods and no binding on the pull-pull. It looks nicer too.

I'm now finishing up the Goodrich Extra 300 60. I have an ST .61 in that too.
