Hi Mic, I did a few mods. Made it with a removable tail. This saves a lot of space when storing it. Other than that I put some very small diagonals down the fuse. It twisted a lot when first built. I knew the covering would stop almost all the twisting but I wanted to be sure. Like I say very small diagonals because this adds weight where it is very easily felt and needs to be balanced with more lead in the nose. If you look very carefully at the film you will see vertical grain on the keel as well under the cockpit and half way aft. This was to try and prevent the grain of the keel cracking if there was a heavy landing. Repairing a model that has clear film on it will just make a mess of the model, so I have tried to build in a bit more strength at the same time trying not to increase the weight.Has worked well so far. Lovely model to fly, I can recommend it if you are considering it. Cheers, Hugh

Very peaceful to watch.
Is this a standard build or did you add some mods?
