Default Byron Cap 21

After selling my fleet to fund a move and career change, I was looking for a good sport/aerobatic plane to get myself back into the hobby. I found this kit up in the attic while moving and thought this would be a good plane to fit the role. I bought this kit in 1999 for a steal to use as a test bed for a prototype engine. I started building it, but never finished it. I did get far enough to ruin the wing panels trying to fiberglass them. So I am starting out this time around by redesigning the wing. I am hoping I can fix the nasty tip stall known to this plane at the same time. I also plan to skin the fuse and tail with 1/16 " balsa before finishing the whole plane with Monokote. I plan to use a Zenoah G-26 for power. I am a scale builder/flyer, not a 3D guy so I think this should be enough power.

The first picture shows the current state of the fuse. The second shows the new wing plan which I have been drawing. I'm hoping to have the plan done and to start cutting wing pieces this coming week.
