Dremel with a Roto-zip cutter works excellent. No sanding needed. If you get any chipping, just apply masking tape first.

Yeah, I love it too!

Hey, I hope you can bring your extra to the NJ FLI! James Rini, XSubsailor, you and I all have 30cc Extras. And Irg has an electric one (if he shows up). It would be quite an Extra-fest! :)

Hope you can Ashleigh! Be nice to meet you. I'm hoping my daughter takes a similar interest in RC in a few years.

It's been the World's slowest build, but now she's almost ready for her first engine start. If all goes well I may do the maiden this weekend!

It looks like mine is going to come out a tad tail heavy. A heavy aluminum spinner may do the trick, but I'm still a bit worried. Anyone who can shed some light on this? Is it difficult to balance with a gasser in the nose? Did you have to add any weight? I went for the push-pull rudder (as per the recommendation in the manual). Should I have done pull/pull instead?

This plane balanced out perfectly for me with two different gas engines (both the DLE and the OS GT), and a push/pull rudder. This is the only plane I've built that only needed one click of trim on maiden. One. It was SPOT ON. No added weight or playing around needed. Have someone help you with a finger balance on it, and you'll be fine. This plane is so very forgiving for CG, the design must be so perfect. Stoops did an amazing job. Flies like a dream and the landings are super smooth. Watch the crosswind landings, especially if you have the SFG's on! It does have a tall cross section!

Where are you batteries mounted? I might come by on Saturday and maiden my 42" Slick.

Here you go. A bit of a rats nest right now. I'm still working on tidying up the wiring. I went with dual batteries through two separate redundant circuits and a dual pole breaker to a battery buffer. Probably MASSIVE overkill, but that's what I have. My plan is to put the batteries right behind the main wing spar.
