Hey Jim, Larger spars? thicker shear webbing? thicker sheeting? fiberglass cloth finishing? All of the above? I know that the plane was designed for the geared .60 drive unit and it had to be ridiculously light so I was planning on incorporating the same types of material and structures that were built into my giant scale TF P-47

Would anybody out there be able to scan and e-mail me the building instructions??
