Is this built up from your kit or an ARF prototype?

John,

Congrats and producing a plane that no one else has the guts to do. This is by far my most favorite plane. However, is it just me or does the plane look out of proportion. I realize the pics I have are not the same angle as John's, but something just doesn't look right. Thoughts anyone?

Unbelievable looking plane, great job on the build. too bad i cant make it out there to see this creation up close and personal.
is the stab placement lower on the kit version than on the scale plane is that what looks different?
