It's funny,that plane has gone thru so many changes. For the record, that wing is not the correct TB#1 wing. The original builder admitted to warping the kit wing and scratch building a new one with a constant chord (no taper towards the tip) If you look at the pics carefully you can pic that up. When I got it she was covered in Coverite and I put on about 5 coats of clear Brodak's dope to fuel proof it. Weight was 54 oz. The Fox 35 flew it in slo-motion. I then put an OS 32 in it which put out waaay more power than the Fox,but it still didn't feel right. At present it has a Tower Hobbies 40 and is Monokote covered. It's flying very nicely now. I fly it on 61' lines eye to eye.
Around the time I got this plane I also got a TBII by the same builder. Again Coverite /Clear Dope finish, La 40 engine. Just my opinion but the TBII was a better flyer than this one especially in the wind. Unfortunately no one told me that I needed more than 4 oz of fuel with this plane to complete the pattern and I ran out of gas directly overhead and creamed it! I'd build another one,one day,but not from a kit........Skip
