One important thing you might do is use birch ply for the dihedral braces in the top and bottom wing instead of the supplied lite ply. I have seen several planes where the lite ply brace failed and...

RE: Bridi 1/4 scale Corben Baby Ace kit

I think the old RC Modeler magazine did a construction article on this plane which was the basis for the kit. But then I may be mistaken.

RE: Fleet Brotherhood

RE: Pietenpol Sky Scout
