RE: Question - First Time Build
The Astro Hog is a great building plane and flies great too. I would replace the liteply wood they use. I just think they use to much and the sides don't need to be made out of liteply. As for building it, if you are able to build it then have at it. Everyone on here will be glad to help and there is no shortage of help for someone that asks for it. I love the old hog and am thinking of building another one, or maybe the bipe. Can't seem to make up my mind.
