I built one of these out of balsa years back and since I have been building planes out of foam for awhile... with my other planes on the back burner waiting for parts, I decided to pull out a set of copied plans for the Sky Tiger Jr. I always did think this would make a good foamie! It has for the most part a box, lock and tab build up which will making it out of foam a lot easier. Started the fuselage today and got quite a bit done on it until the Wife asked if I was ever going to go shower... Funny how time flies when your having fun! It should be a good flier with the flat bottom wing and tri gear. More to come... Mudman1959
