RE: jemco
I've done a few and really like them and they fly good. I also have the T-6 (gotcha) and some day it will get built. They are a builder kit but anyone with a few kits under their belt shouldn't have a problem so enjoy.

About 15 years ago I built the Hellcat and then like an idiot I sold it before it was even covered. About a year ago I scored another Hellcat, glass cowl and all. They will have to pry this one out of my dead hands.

We used to race the with K&B 40 engines in them. Most fun class there was. It was builder and pilot that made the difference. Huge blast.
The fuse building was kind of a pain, but now that I know how to bend wood easier they would be cake. From what I remember, if you get them too slow, they got to be dogs, but if you keep the speed up, they were awsome. I am not saying you have to land at full throttle, just don't try to float it as you would a trainer. They are really easy to fly. I have had quite a few of them. They are a blast.
