Thanks Bill,

I'm loath to admit it, but at 14.5 ounces and the higher efficiency of a large, electric prop, your version just might be the better performer. At least in certain aspects.

That's where, perhaps, a diesel may be a better choice. Have done up a dieselized Norvel. It's going to be interesting comparing glow to diesel on this plane.

Still slow going but the wing is done. Darn near was able to build it in my lap. Amazing, with perfect parts fit and everything lines up and comes out straight. I did, however, sheet the center section and just the top of the wing forward of the spar with 1/32" contest wood. Again, only to resist the vibration of the engine. A few bits and pieces here and there for nylon bolts and it sure looks good. Many thanks for a remarkable kit.
