Actually, my wife just finished one (please look for the post that says “little wifey’s first plane” for a couple pics...I may be biased but it makes a fine looking flying model.
There are blocks provided with wood screws to easily remove the cowl (it’s a really cool feature) and you simply cut a portion away for the engine cylinder (just remove a thumb sized swath that allows plenty of room for cylinder and and priming).
Make sure to use epoxy for wing and landing gear attachment, as well as adding fillets at wing joints to improve robustness. I build strongly for crash resistance and don’t mind at all having a heavier airplane as a result.
The plane balances perfectly with a baby bee but a golden bee with its longer tank will probably need a little tail weight.
Not sure about the decals yet but Sig told me they were fuel proof, so we will see after a while.
Might want to replace tbe kit provided control horn with a Kavan small horn Sig sells for about a $1.50 for two, and add small eyelets or washers to the leadout wire line guide (glued to the inside wing strut) to facilitate smooth travel of the lines.
Speaking of wing struts, hers were a smidgeon short so I instructed her to put cap strips on them and it turned out very nicely.
This is a fun, quick build and the customizable options are quite plentiful...enjoy!
