Haven't started it yet. It's a 1/3 scale. Doing some research, the foam cores look like a potential problem. The wing is designed around a stepped 1/8" ply main spar which bolts together in the fuselage to a former. From some of the responses I've had, getting the pieces of the wing and the spar aligned is a problem. I've been considering a new wing core, one based on a tube conector vs the ply bolt together one.

The tail feather are slab construction, or built up slab vs an airfoil. I think this could be improved on.

All and all, it looks like if you put the construction on a diet, and cut down the weight, you could end up with good plane.

I'm still trying to find a hole in my garage to put a build table for this guy. I have another kit, a 1/4 scale Laser 200 from Lanair to work first.

On the engine, I think a 50 would be OK, but, and I haven't found one yet, something around a 60 to 70 would be better. This is based on some old reports as old as the kit, so maybe the current 50 would have enough power. The engine I really want it a O.S FT300 converted to ignition but with glow fuel. One of the guys at the field has that engine and a early ignition conversion in a 1/4 scale. His has a mechanical advance which seems to give him trouble, but when it right, it is a sweet engine. I would go with one of the new auto advance CDI setups.

To many projects and to little time.
