MIke,
I just finished mine and am waiting to finished breaking in the engine before I fly it. The tail wheel in the kit is junk and will have to be replaced at some point if you use it. I replaced it with a Goldberg tail wheel bracket and I'm sure it will last forever, or until the model is "gone" The other item I changed in the structure was the rear canopy hold down. I don't know what I was thinking, but that little dowel broke loose just from running in the engine. I ended up gluing a light ply blade to the bottom of the hatch and cutting a slot in bulkhead F4 for the blade to slide into. I also replaced the plastic pushrods with solid rod in split elevevator fashion and pull-pull cables on the rudder. Other than that, I built it stock and I think it's going to be a fantastic flying model.

My avatar is my SE and there are a few other pictures of it both in the bones and finished in my gallary.
