Default Bridi Great Escape Pattern Plane

I bought one of these several months back from Joe Bridi along with the last of his Dirty Birdys. It was $75 for the GE plus $25 shipping for both kits from CA....what a deal but I believe he is sold out now.
This kit is foam wings and stabs with built up balsa & ply fuse. It is mid wing with a deep belly pan. All the material in the kit seems of good quality. The plans show different views of main gear placement as tri or taildragger. I am thinking of taildragger with gear strut mounted on fuse with wheel pants.
The only other mod I would make is to add the turtlekdeck for better knife edge. Keep it light and it should have more than ample power with my OS .91 FX on a pipe or if you have the bucks you might consider something like the new YS 110 in a 4 stroke for awesome performance.
