Brian,
Thanks foryour input regarding the .56 Saito. I do fly from grass runways. I remember a .25 size Cub I had that was a nightmare to get in the air. The"P" factor you refer to, for memeans "P" down the leg until it's airborn.

I'm sure I'll be seeking lots of input over the course of this build. I had to locate a cheap bandsaw to cut out the printed parts. Got a good one through Craigs List. I hope the wing saddles are close enough. Probably be starting on the fuse sides today.
Thanks Again,
Dave
