You'll like it Deadeye. I had the build thread in the Kit Building Forum. I've got 12 flights on it now, and it is such a great flyer, with absolutley no bad tendancies. My only problem is i have it propped for speed, and I almost have to dead stick it to slow it down to land.

I know you do. I read that thread from start to finish before I dug in. Some rather unconventional building, like the wing spars, but a very well engineered kit. Not for a beginner, that's for sure. Lot's of 'fill in the blanks' type of stuff a newbie would miss. Going with a Saito 125 on mine, probably inverted.
