hi all

ive been wanting to build from a kit for a while now but because of space limitations needed something small and cheap (so if i screw up bad it wont matter so much)

so i eventially settled on a Guillows 900 series Cessna bird dog and placed an online order (cost me just over £10 including some CA and modeling pins) and im sure that with a little help from my Dad, from the members of RCU and a little Foamy magic i will be able to complete my very first kit (other than all those airfix kits)

it should be here around mid-wek and i cant wait!

Hi, Wild. Have had goo results with that specific kit with my novice engineering students!
One modification we usually make, not necessary tho, is to make a center section to the wing, and glue up the wing as one piece, instead of trusting it to stay tacked to the cabin. Not much, just a leading and trailing edge and a stringer carried thru, and relive the to of the cabin sides to match.

Very cool. I just did a Dumas Bearcat as my first build. Very satisfying!

Good luck.
