You got me curious, so I checked the plans on the one I've got up for sale,
and no mention of lightening holes either. There's a small notation of
10/78 on the plan, presuming that might be a date.
I bet a power pod would be good on one of these. I'm just back from a
nostalgic session of flying my .049 powered Jetco Eastwind and now my hands
smell funny.
But if starting out with a Lil' T can put one in Harley's footsteps, I may
have to raise the price... :-)

I too so many years ago had a lil'T.
It actually flew quite well considering the times,
I think I put a World Engines MkIII or something similiar in it., as at
the time I was working for World, so many years ago.
I Just picked up a Kit at the Nats, it was missing a set of wing ribs for
one wing, for 50 bucks !!
Courious though, I did notice that this kit did not reference the
"Optional " cut ous on the plans for the Lightening holes on the Tail and
the fuse..
The kit I have now must be an earlier version than the one I had in the
mid Seventies.
I remember hi-starting the heck outta the thing,
Launches were always scary due to the wing blanking out the smallish
t-tali and the smallish rudder was a challenge at slower airspeeds.
Probably at home on the slope, it did thermal as well as could be
expected, at the time, considering my limited thermaling skills.
I think that it was my 3rd glider.... I had been flying power for quite
some time and was gettin bored.......
I am Looking Forward to building this gem, if for nothing else a grin, a
giggle, and a hoot !!!
