I have two kits of this and both semi complete. One was missing ribs but made new ones. Cut some new spars and in process of making L/E straight. Both were bowed but wood was in good shape. If my plan doesn't work I have several L/E like the VooDoo and go from there. I have four Johnson C/S and have run all of them. I will run them on low pressure bladder and run restrictor. I made two piece restrictors so I could increase the volume of air easily. I also have my original Veco C/S from early 60's. It has good compression and runs fine.
  I have played with these long enough and time to build them. Might even silk one of them. Nice thing they stack easy and take very little room. I haven't seen any Johnson Powered combat ship since Hi-School. I put a J C/S in a Ringmaster for fun and it was quick. Engine ran very smooth and powerful. It drank some fuel big time.
  This is a treat to myself as I have wanted to do this for a long time.  I was going to do VooDoo's but C/Cat has 20% more wing area and thicker wing. Back in the day we used pressure and Veco tanks. Bladder in a tube inside wing gives bigger fuel cap. and more reliable setting. A few years back got a bunch of OS .10 nva's remote. Anyway just for fun. 

One suggestion: Center the motor mount in the wing vertically; cutting the notch into the LE to clear the lower beam is just asking for trouble.

I loved the way CCs flew, with that thick wing.  It and the Equalizer were my favorite combat planes, for the same reason. Nice thick stunt-type airfoils, generous wing area for the era.  they turned really tight. You'll have lots of fun with them.

so was my first one...after it folded the wings I quit notching that LE.
