Hey Glen

It's been a while since I built the 40. As I recall it was a really easy build. Most models that have cutouts for the wings through the fuselage I seem to have difficulty matching the wings to the cutout. However these fit very nicely.

I departed from the existing design by replacing the struts with balsa wood between the wings and landing gear. I also used wooden wheels. I did use the rims for the tires from the plans.

The Pilot is somewhat out of scale

At some point I plan a rebuild of the exhaust system and tail pipes

regards

Bob
