I'm in the process of building one now. I have read all the old posts on the wing snapping. I glassed my center with 4" strip just in case.

There is a lot of good info in the older posts about mods to simplify some of the construction. For instance, the plane is very nose heavy. Do everything possible to keep the nose light and move everything you can aft.

I am glad you started this newer post. I will keep it updated with my experiences along the way.

I'm using a Saito 91 mounted sideways with a hole in the cowl to clear the rocker covers. Would have liked to leave untouched but I'm going for a bit of simplicity and it will also aid in cooling.

Crossing my fingers on the wing snap thing.
