This kit was heavily modified, including:
  • repositioning the firewall to accommodate the RCV
  • making new cabane struts to allow the fuel tank to be positioned optimally
  • mounting an on-board glow (accessible by removing the pilot)
  • making the radiator removable so the engine could be removed.

Ralph states that the engine fits nicely into the engine compartment, however flying time hasn't been sufficient to prove that air-flow is adequate.

He also mentions that it flies nicely at part throttle with the large 2-bladed prop being correct for many of the SE-5a's built
