I like how you are approaching the construction of the Kit. I will follow you very closely... I hope to learn a lot.

In Vegas again well that's interesting! Yes Bill still building for peopls and getting to some of my boats too. Feeling a bit better after the new heart valve. Zipp kits are a great easy building kit at a good price!

Had a major set back with the build with my wife and i getting a nasty case of Covid for over a week and we are better but still not 100%! So the center section (fuselage) is built and so are the sponsions and i glued them all together with slow set epoxy! I also added the sponsion tips, front nosepiece, and glued the radio box lid onto the top of the box and sealed it! This kit is a joy to build and very straight forward! Just follow the instructions!

Fitted a cowl for it...............!

Hey Bill nice build , now for some paint. Hope you and your wife are felling better. You don't sand all that char offbefore you put it together?
I just se some #120 and clean it off that way you don't leave finger prints all over, at least in my case. Take care and hope to see you in Vegas.

Just purchased one of these kits and got a K&B ss 3.5.. are these not good motors?

That kb will last you a long time, in stock form the os would probably be faster.
Plenty of kb spare parts on the for sale forums.
I have a g30, fun boat
