Not started building it yet but have trial fitted all the main bits together. Going to power it with a 20cc Zenoah. It's got to have a working bomb release too. Having just read a review in another magazine, I wonder if we both have the same model ?  Whilst fitting and removing the supplied keeps, one cracked and fell apart in my fingers! I'd already had another fall apart, as well as one self strip its thread, so I was luckilly removing them to install some nice Kavan ones. And what did the reviewer say ? "Examination of the supplied hardware revealed nothing untoward, in fact the standard of the fittings was very good" Well I'm sorry they feel that way, about using (and yes they DID) these crappy brittle parts in a 12LB 20cc powered model !!!! And what did they say about the problems I saw with the undercarridge ? "Fitting the oleo sprung undercarridge gave a few niggling problems" Yeah Right  My latest "NIGGLE" the damn fin installation, look at the picture, a great gap, and worse still nothing lines up (look at the panel lines and paint)  Now sureley the review must have mentioned this ? "the assembly of the tail end is straightforward, and the alignement of the tailplane on the fuselage is both postive and accurate"   Hmm if thats what passes for their "Positive and Accurate", god help me.  Hello Grahamd,  I am also interested to buy this kit. Did you made the first flight ? Tigris
