| The wing is ready for papering, I've added balsa to the areas that I felt could cause problems in papering. |

| The plans are printed on one side so they can be cut apart for ease of building. However I still made a copy to cut apart. Dies kits are designed to fly with oversized tail surfaces however the plans contained dotted lines showing the scale surfaces which I am building to. |

| The kit has excellent plans containing instructions for building both the LA-5FN and the LA-7. The print wood must be cut out and is good quality, however the strip stock is much too light for me to work with so I substitued som Guillows strip wood. A vac canopy, rubber and plastic prop are provided. Decals seem to be well done. |
