RE: Pete N'Poke First time build
Dave B. is right on with both of his comments.
You'll see the results when the wing separated from mine as well as my input on the tail-heavy problem on one of those Kit-Building forums.
Mine is now my oldest, still-flying plane and I bring it out every time I go flying. It must have over 100 hours on it, and it's still great fun. It's not too pretty anymore, but hey, it flies great!
Good luck!
