Wow that was fast.
Yes Chase the comm plates are pre installed,I have the wood strips that go from the door jam to the tail.
Desertfox, I haven't used any hose from the original kit,and I agree completely about keeping it light! Just ordered new bunji coard material,and have new poly tak on the way. I was wondering about the other chemicals?? From what I've read they have a shelf life of at least 2 to 3 years. I hate to throw all this stuff away,but I don't want to be foolish? It's all 94 vintage.
I did use some of the spar varnish,was still good. The thinners I think would be ok?
Am aware of a few ADs on the engine, a few on the air frame also.
Have a question, my speedster kit uses 1/4" heim ends at the rudder pivot,did I read there is an up grade for this? Are 1/4" ok?

Thanks everyone. Mike
