Great work, Larry! I have the same kit in my stash - can you share your impressions on the assembly process? Any useful suggestions?

Robert, it was such a small kit and quick build a year ago that I don't remember that much about problems. I did polish the canopy, and there weren't good frame lines to mask to. Prop blades are wafer thin so need careful handling. Watch their direction of spin, I think the rear one wasn't right and needed to be flipped around. The vertical tail fit poorly and needed the fillet added with putty, and wrapped around the front smoothly to the underside. I used CA. One front gear leg needed trimming to fit on the engine properly. Hope this helps!
