I was just looking at this plane at Advantage Hobbies - I'd love to see some pics and hear about progress on this bird.

This is a very nice plane, I have a Saito 125 and 16x4W prop. (Use 16x6 for sport flying)
It is a little heavy for all out 3D but is very capable.
It's very stable, fast or slow and does what it's told to.
I love this plane and can't recommend it enough. Best value for money plane so far.

If your Saito 125 is new, then bench run it in first and gentle first few flights.
The only thing about the kit is the cowl mounting.
The screws need to be CA'ed in or the Saito will vibrate it loose and enlarge the holes.
Once the Saito is run-in and tuned up there's not much problem.

With the Saito 125 the plane balances well without addition weights.

I'll be working on the Seagull Extra 260 1.8M soon.
Slightly bigger and red instead of blue (the blue looks nicer)
Fitting a gasser 26cc to this.
The kit looks as good and the price again is great.
