My first kit was the .60 cub, I didn't clip the wings, although i wish I did now, they are just huge. Wasn't easy for me, but nothing too terrible, biggest hinderance was the poorly die-cut parts, some of the gaps in fit were terrible and couldnt be sanded perfect or you would lose the outlines of the fusalage, rudder, etc.

Really not impressed with the kit, but it served it's purpose. It isnt done yet but close, covering the fuse, even for an expert friend, was a terrible, terrible experience with Monokote, dunno if be better with different stuff, but my lord is there some work to be done covering this.

I am afraid to cover the rudder, elevator and ailerons by myself and have been putting this off, so many large and small curves,I am also afaid of the stupid solder type push rods, thats all I need, solder the wrong way and have it fail in flight.

Minnflyer I think doesn't like monokote too much, most people seem not too, it might be making my troubles worse.


When almost done though, cub is big, heavy, and pretty impressive so far, cant wait to see it fly.

Mill the semi-newbie.
