Saw this bird today in person over at Craig's house, and my overall first impression is WOW. Extremely light, even lighter than my Yak from the looks of it. Ill try to answer some of your questions sweetpea from what I saw today:
Wing: built up
Bottom of Fuse: Stringers
Tail surfaces cut out or not: Not sure what you are asking here... it is pre-hinged, but you must glue them in... if thats what you are asking. Hard points are marked, but not drilled as to leave final hardware choice to the consumer.
Hardware: Craig's 260 looks as if it had full hardware. I know my 37.5% Yak had all hardware except for control horns. Craigs appeared to have come with rocket-city/nelson style horns in the hardware package.
Landing Gear: Aluminum
Instruction manual: didnt look for one... but then again, who follows instructions anyway/not that you really need one to assemble an arf.
Tailwheel: Not sure... I would guess that is not included.
Gear Cuffs? Not sure what these are.
Access Panel on hatch: Canopy is not installed from factory, you can however easily make an access hatch if you want access to the cockpit, the framwork has a foam based bottom over it as a floor.
Build Quality: top notch. Built extremely light and all interlocking. It looks like alot of thought went into keep this weight down on this one. |

Thanks for the response.....
-Do the stabs/rudder have lightening holes cut?
-Gear cuffs are the fiberglass pieces that meet the fuse to the gear on a 260 instead of just gear going into the fuse....
-
a picture of the bottom of the hatch would help to determine how to put a hatch access panel in
Sounds like its a great bird!
