First off i am dumping this info here for anybody that has any interest in following my slow progress or wants to do there own. You will not hurt my feelings if you work on this at all or do it before me. Thats why im putting it here so if anybody wants to do this as well. Please share if you do.
I have been building mostly with homedepot insulation foam, but FFW17 got me excited about foamboard again.
Originally i was going to document the parts solely so that i could make replacement parts when the balsa breaks. But than i figured i may as well go ahead and do the entire thing and try and make a super light foamboard version for light wind days and maybe even powered later.
If you are interested in a montage of my build of this EPP kit here is the link:

Here are some super early (untested) plans i made up based off these dimensions. Red line is CG. I was going to do basic FT style wing design, but with a much thinner wing. Maybe a wooden dowel across to create it. Wing glues onto sides of fuselage in current pdf's.
