Hi Gray Beard, thanks for the kind words. This is my first Great Planes kit and so far I am impressed with the quality of the materials and instructions. I am going a little slowly and reading the instructions several times but one wing panel pretty much done now (nearly 01h30 in the morning here but just couldn,t stop

).
I have the thread which deadeye posted bookmarked - although I don't think he was the originator, but a great thread and was tempted to do the counter balances on the tail but opted to stick with the general stock design for this one.
Engine option probably a Saito 125a.
