I know to some it might seem like a waste to put so much time and energy into a "cheap" plane, but I love the challenge and the reward of the outcome.
Still have work to do on the gear, figure out if I can cowl the engine, and need to pull off some more covering, but the main building is about complete.
I added a belly scoop, rounded deck, wing root extention pieces, and wingtips.

That's just cool, please keep this thread going with the build process. I would love to see it in progess and the final outcome
