Update to my Build of this plane with the Saito FA62a Engine. Come to a stop have to wait for a Turbomuffler that will fit it. So i'm gonna give it a week and see What happens. Getting a muffler for this engine to fit in the cowl is a bit of a problem. Other then that the plane has gone together pretty smoothly better then alot of ARF's ive done, everything fits amazing.
The wing Trusses that go between the wings are splayed out a little Don't understand why they couldnt have made them straight but it might be that the bottom wing is a Tad Shorter then the top, Maybe that is why. Still think they could have made them straight up and down. Hmm a very intresting Mystery i guess only the manufacture knows.

I think the wheels are a bit on the small side might get bigger ones. The tail wheel sucks IMO but it's better then nothing i guess. probably will change that too. Other then that it's pretty Cool Kinda grows onya as you put it together i thought the orange was Herendous at first. but i'm starting to like it more and more as i get closer to finishing. Should be highly visable in the Sky.
