Mongoose 2

Just finished a Mongoose 2. Built it from a kit bought on eBay for about $30. There were a few parts missing, but the plans were complete enough that it was easy to make the missing parts close to the original. So this is almost a Mongoose 2.
The design is by "Fast Richard", Dick Mathis. It was kitted by M&P somewhere around 1980, I think.
It has a solid thick rib in the center of the wing. The motor mounts extend back to the spar and are pegged through the wing so the wing and fuselage are locked together. The front of the fuse is simply the motor mounts. The rear of the fuse is 1/4 inch basswood.
Pictures to follow.
