Sounds like you will be busy for a while then! but i'm sure it will be worth it in the long run, the engine is rather powerfull and is much more pleasing to the eye than the small prairie's (in my own opinion that is) good luck with the build....

i have aquired one of these, part built, that was sitting around at college for years.

This model is one of the most wonderful to build if you can spend 20 hours a day in your workshop.

There are 13 sheets of drawings and about 7,500 tiny holes to drill, not to mention a mass of formers, jigs, and various other devices to build as well.

Lets just hope that someone puts together a set of laser cut and formed bits to speed up a 20 to 30 year build time.

Thanks for posting.

And yes I am building one!!!!
