Default Hanger 9 Sundowner 50

Picked up my Sundowner 50 tonight, very nice looking plane. The covering job is fantastic, hardly a wrinkle can be seen on any of it. I am going to let it sit overnight and look again tomorrow, but the covering all looks very tight. The instructions are just like what can be seen on the website, clear and easy to follow. The control horns are pre-installed and the wing hinges are glued in, although I am going to check them real close. The tailwheel is already installed on the rudder, but I am not a big fan of the assembly being attached to the rudder itself, I will more than likely replace it with something. The firewall is pre-drilled and the blind nuts are in for either 2 or 4 stroke installation or for electric power if so desired. The holes for the cowl mounting screws are already drilled so we'll see how that works out.

The colors are very good and the paint on the cowl matches the covering very good. The wheel pants are good and solid. I am not sure about the landing gear. Out of the box it feels maybe a little soft but we'll see how it looks and feels after it's together.

Anyway, just wanted to share. It should be a quick and easy build and I hope it flies along the same lines as it's giant scale counterpart.
