I just picked up a partially assembled Fun-Bat (the wing was covered). What can I expect in building the plane and what modifications can/should I make?
Thanks in advance.

Fun bats are popular here for combat,
but you could make a decent boom type fun fly out of it by adding rudder, and bigger ailerons. You will probably want more than the 0.15 engine they use for combat. So long as you don't load it up with heavy servos and battery, a hot 36 or a light 40 and suitable prop might do the trick.
checkout the Stickit www.airflair.com it is well spoken of and would be a good guidepost to head tward.

Denny,
I have a funbat with an mvvs15 on it. It is quite a handfull if you slow it down too much. As long as it is under power it flies great, but the moment the fan quits the fun begins. Make sure you put epoxy around the motor mount inside the wing, the vibration tends to work the motor mount loose.
