Yours will need a 350 engine if you don't finish it up soon. All that moss and mushrooms growing inside the structure will eventually add more weight you wait and see if I'm not right about it.
There's bound to be at least 5 mice living in the wings by now and prolly some Peruvian swamp bats hanging from the inside.

At this rate it will be compost before its built.

Lol, There better not be any mice or bats in my plane!! I gotta make a trip to lowes and get some 2x4's to make a sanding block for the LE. It will get done.....sometime....

Lol, oops, I meant the foamy version.

This is the first prototype, I already flew it a bunch and have The final version ready to cut out. If it flys good, it will be my next kit.
For some strange and perverted reason I seem to be drawn to that little critter.
OMG am I becoming attracted to foamies now after a lifetime of denial?
