True, and you pretty much have to go with a custom made item if you want a spinner. I built one of these about 20 years ago. The Kit is a set of compromises that lands mostly on the sport scale side of the equation. As it is, one will want to use the heaviest engine that will fit under the cowl. I had an Irvine .72 on mine. Way more power than needed but it helped with the balance. My recent purchase is an updated version with plans copyrighted in the 90's. So far, the main difference I have seen is that that it uses independent aileron servos instead of a pushrod as in my first Bristol. Mine still has sheet balsa tail surfaces. I've seen builds where people went with a built up tail. If you could save an ounce on the tail it would make a big difference with this plane but I don't recall how much the built up tail actually helped. All that being said it is a nice flying airplane and I enjoyed it enough to grab a second one. 

Here you go Al - hope this helps!

It comes with a 3mm wrench and one extra screw.  It is a 2-piece affair, held together by two screws.  Graham machined the screw heads down a bit.

The two parts have registered screw holes, so alignment ought to be the same each time:

Here are the back sides:

They fit together pretty well:

And it weighs 202 grams or 7.13 ounces

Just curious though, did you have to cut the prop slots or did you tell him what prop and he cut them?

He cut the slots.  Told him the prop and engine, he did the rest.

Thanks so much for sharing that! very interesting and it looks top quality.

Finally got some video of a short flight:
