That's a pretty long day....



Had mine out today, waggling the rudder in a big rain puddle like a fish.... This plane is too easy to fly.

About 4 tail dunks per minute.....


Is it done yet, is it done yet, is it done yet....

Sweet!

Some of the guys are putting diagonal braces in the ailerons to stiffen them up. Me personally, would put braces on the first or second bay (closest to the wing root) as I have creased my trailing edges and it is not from flight but hangar rash... durn wings are too wide to fit in my 50cc wing bag.

Are the ailerons sheeted? They do seem a bit week.

Not sheeted. They are plenty strong enough for flight....built as a light airframe.... I just had the problem with doinking the trailing edges on stuff hence the suggestion.

dont forget to put a little right thrust in that engine... I like to take a hitec arm (the big red x) cut one arm off, taper it from nothing to its thickness and drill it to put behind engine mount tabs... makes good offset.
