I meant birch plywood, just just got done cutting some basswood tri-stock, must have had that on the brain. Either way you answered my question, I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.

Hard day at work - Shop Foamies.wmv (1 min 50 sec)

No wonder you guys can fly so much better than I can.

Very nice, you'll love it! I had one of those little EF Extras way back when they first came out. I put a little glow engine in it, I think a .20 or something. Went like a streak of , right up until I discovered the wonders of flutter.

Yea, but you'll notice we both had tape holding together the glue joints from our fixes. Lots of obstacles in there

Yeah, I,m stoked to take it for a spin, but it's snowing right now. I'm going to have to make a trip your way this summer, to do some flying. Looks like you guys know how to have a good time.

We would love to have you. I think we are having a 2 day event in May?

we are going to try - like the second half of may sometime

As long as it's not first week or so in June, I'll be hucking in Huskerville!!

I would love to "rebuild" my V1 Edge 540 from AT. I would need new stabs, wings, cowl, canopy. I think the price though would just be more cost effective to buy a brand new one.

I'm not sure what they all changed from V1 to the V2. How do you like the plane? I'm just using a DA100 (old version), so I hope it's got enough powa! How is it for post stall stability and elevator authority. The stabs are slightly more narrow than I would have imagined.
