Thanks for the tips Bill. I did read the thread on this model and the changes people recommend. I will be incorporating them as I accomplish the assembly.. I guess we should include research time to address potential problem areas.

As for the prop, I typically run 18x6-10's on my G38's. This has served well on everything from a Lazy Ace, H9 Taylorcraft to an Ultra Stick 1.20 all running G38's

Just getting back into the hobby after about a 4 year hiatus and figured the SS would be a good first "Big" refresher bird for me.
