Re: Revmaster R-2300
I wouldn't be too worried about the engine. If its sat that long, it clearly needs a complete teardown, inspection and rebuild. But for the price, it might be worth it. I'd definitely replace the crank. Just because you never know if a prop strike happened. But with all the other stuff you get, you ...

Re: FREE Offer for Tri-Gear Builders
Have you thought of sending sonex the excess so they can include it with their kits? No...that's not a bad idea. But this is also a way for me to meet and interact with other builders, so I have to weight the pros and cons. :) Yeah, but you will only meet us nose draggers. Not that there's anything...

Re: Edge rolling?
I bought my kit from someone who rolled edged every overlapping joint on the wings and aft fuselage. Looks real nice. I tried on the forward fuse with mixed results. If you can figure out how to do it nicely, It really makes a difference.
