I recently finished building one for a dear friend and he is in the process of painting it. Like you, I tried to sell it because it seemed like so much work but couldn't fine a buyer, so decided to build it. It is a major project, for sure but a lot of fun IF you like to build. Take your time. I used a pair of Saito .91 four strokes for power. You could certainly Monokote it but why would you? It cries for paint. The easiest way to do that is to glass it with 3/4 oz. glass and use Minnwax water based polyurithane applied with a brush. It is SO easy and gives such great results. There are several web sites that talk about that method. Also, Art Azlin, who is the builder for Wing, has a website where he gives some building tips. Forget about the landing gear doors, unless you intend to build a museum quality model. I fought with them for a month and finally talked to Art who said he didn't use them on the Wing demo model seen at Toledo. Needless to say I didn't use them either. Makes life SO much easier. If you have any questions, or if I can help in any way, please let me know. I came up with a good way of mounting the engine servos that even Art liked. I can send you pictures, if you like.
