Well packed, delivered in perfect condition. Fast shipping after my order. Very complete kit with an excellent instruction book. Lovely wood, well laser cut. I will document the build as it goes on.
Several problems noted so far:
First, it has a 2" bellcrank. This will make the plane extremely squirrely, and possibly not even allow it to pull full control due to the Netzband wall. Sadly, the holes in the ribs for the leadouts are small, so I will need to enlarge them both for a 3" bellcrank and then for adjustable leadouts. I use 3" bellcranks on my 1/2As; I'm sure not going smaller on a .15 ship.
Second, this is a .15 size model and they spec a 1.25 oz tank. Lots of luck making THAT through the whole pattern. Even a Tee Dee .049 needs 1.125 ounces!
Third, I think that they used the landing gear from some other kit, rather than custom ones for this model. .15 engines like 8" props, and there is not enough clearance for one. They even show the position of the ORIGINAL gear on the plan! But not a pattern for it. C'mon John!
Finally, they don't include a tipweight box or provision for adjustable leadouts. I can only presume that they assume that nobody will ever compete with this plane. Or want it to fly really, really well.
None of the above sour me on the kit as the hard stuff is done, and done well. I may grumble, but fixing the above problems is no big deal.
