Hi Guys, thanks for your replies an explainations - friendly and knowledgable indeed.

I can hear that this angry 40 seems to be revving a whole lot highter than most heard. It'll probably cost an arm and a leg, but i must have that sound if i go forward with this

As for mechanical skills - do build and fly model helicopters/aircraft so not a complete stranger to this kind of thing - but it is very much 'slot A into B' type thing so I'm going to have to raise my game somewhat.

John - Sorry, i didn't bring my camera when i visited Chris, but i can say just by the quality of the welds alone that the monocoque is very well constructed and by all accounts the body fits well with hardly any filling required - just check the build logs on here.

Fran - not taking anything away from the other fine kits available, but yours is the only monocoque available so it's a no brainer, for me at least. Would there be any chance of getting an excerpt or two from the build manual just to get a flavour of it ?

Thanks again guys, i'll keep you informed of progress.
