Just a note of caution...build light.

A club member finished one a month ago, it flew like a rock. This guy is a very experienced builder /multi-engine pilot too.

That is probably the best advice one could give for that particular kit. We had one flying here several years back. It weighed 16# and flew like an early 60s pattern ship.

I have one that is 75% complete and has been at that stage for 10 years. May never finish it as it is too small to detail and maintain a 11 to 12 # flying weight.
