CUSTOMER BUILDS & INFO

"I just wanted to pass along that this kit is going very well, and fast! I only get a few hours on the weekends to work and this one is simple, and really is Easy Built. I have made a few minor changes on my build so far, mostly for strength. I used 1/8" x 1/16" for the leading edge of the wings, and added 1/8" x 1/16" pieces to improve the wing mounting. Also added was a 1/8" x 1/16" former in the bottom of the fuselage to mount wire landing gear. I broke the bottom 1/16" wood when bending near the nose so I just doubled it and shaped it. Cool kit!!!" - Tim Hums

"I loved this model and couldn't cover up it's framing so I painted it's frames and glued it together." - Philip F. Stock
