I have decided to build the Ikon kit of It. A friend has one and said I could handle the kit. He lives 15 minutes away so he can help me if I get in a jam. Plus I have all the experts I can get on this website. So any tips or modifications you guys have would help me a lot. Thanks.

After all that advice and all those links we gave you, you believed a friend and went with the original "not so good" kit. I think you are now going to be on your own around here!
Just joking.....

I'll Probably build the smaller one for a float plane. I want to build the Ikon one because it's more scale. The only thing that I found wrong with it is the instructions. The plane flys great.
