Nice Looking Plane 
I Used to Buy the 172 and 150 Foam planes from Hobby People, They were Cheap Like Me 
and They were meant for a 15 Glow Engine, I Used these Planes for Trainers when i was Learning RC, My Friend Gave me a couple of HP 40 Pylon Engines that he Used when Flying Quickie 500s, and I tossed them in the Hobby People Foam Planes, That was Fun as they Would Haul Buns 
I also had a K+B 61 Engine, That was a Great Engine, I could Not Kill it, It just ran and ran and Ran. I had it in a few planes, Like a Laser 200, F86 Saber, and a Pitts Bi Plane, My Brand New Airtronics 6 Channel 72 MHZ radio messed up on me and the Pitts went in taking out the K+B 61, I Dont use Airtronic Radios any More, only JR with a Berg or Hitec Receiver on 72 MHZ or a DX6I Spectrum 2.4 6 channel Radio, Berg and Hitec seem to be the Only Receivers that E Power RFI does not Affect, Take care and have fun, Chellie

Glad ya like it CHELLIE My first large Foam foray of modifications. I really missed out on the heyday of cheap, prolific foamy days. I remember Global Hobbys, Hobby Shack, Hobby People... I think my first Foamy many moons ago was the Kyosho F-16. Just stayed with balsa until the last couple years, I've been stepping out! Into the world of foam and electrics! Been wanting to try putting a nitro .25 in my Durafly BF109 and see if I can melt it a bit.....
Anyway, here's Build part#2 decals and start retro fitting retracts.

Thats Looking Nice 
I Made a Hellcat Profile Plane out of 9mm Depron Foam, Its big 
I will take a pic of it and post it here, I am Not Done with it yet, It will be E Powered, I have a Formosa balsa plane that I dont like, It was one of my first planes to use E Power, I put in a Brand New JR Receiver in it with my JR Computer Radio, and the Receiver did not like the RFI of the E Motor and about 50 feet away from me it Nose dived into the Ground, Thats when I bought a Spectrum DX6I Radio on 2.4, I was able to save the Plane, but it always felt Heavy on the Sticks, I dont like that plane at all, so I will be Taking out the power system and putting it in the Profile Hellcat, on 4 Cell, the Formosa would leap into the Air in about 4 to 5 feet 
it had a 2 to 1 power ratio It would make twice the thrust of the weight of the plane More Power
