Ok I must thank @pawnshopmike for this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I was looking for CA hinges and they were not available anywhere. Mike suggested radio south hinges great found some but to buy a $5 packet of hinges you add shipping and tax price arrived at my house it was going to cost me almost $60. NUTs.
So Mike came to the rescue and sent me some hinges. The company wanted over $40 dollars to ship the Canada.

I’m glad they arrived safe and sound. And always glad to help whenever I can.

Thanks to @pawnshopmike the plane is done and ready to go again. Did a lot a work to since I smashed it. Turned it into a taildragger and made the wing except 2 servos one for each aileron. Added a tail wheel. Ready to go again. Just have to fix the receiver need to change one of the antenna’s in the receiver, just hope the post man doesn’t get lost. Once again it would be nice to go flying but the wind it over 50mph.
Ok no cheap comments on the colour scheme it what I had left in the box. LOL.

Look what I was able to find and by chance. Been looking for one for a long time but never had the chance and when I did the price was ridiculously. This time I lucked out, not to far from me he had the kit and did not want to build one of these older kits as he said to heavy and to much sanding. I can live with that.

I patch with different colors on purpose sometimes. A flying plane is a flying plane.

That UltraSport can be lightened as you go through the build, I’ve done it. But the fat airfoil can easily handle the heavier build.

I have had a few and looking forward to building this one. Yes they are heavy compared to todays standards but not at the time. It will be a taildragger and with a Jett engine. Still have to make up my mind if I am going to add retractable gear. ( Electron gear).
The ailerons will be enlarged and flaps added.

Nothing wrong with a little extra weight. Foamies have their place but momentum and a firm plane have theirs as well.
