Marc:
They are not as responsive as fin/rudder. And...at speed they tend
to wing walk . I never experienced the afore mentioned on my Windfree's
that's perhaps because they had a smaller aero-balanced rudder and no poly.
Some of you tech guys out there may have a more technical
erection.
I've had spoilers on everything I've built since my Windward/Windfree days.
When you take picture with new spoilers. send it to me. You really did a
fine job of building/covering.

I think you will find the 5/32 rods adequate for what type of launches it
was designed to handle. Sure the wings flex as do the rods, but that's some
built in safety. Just use a medium weight hi start and enjoy. Its a great
airplane.

I've built, rebuilt, and rebuilt, and rebuilt. You get the idea. I never
had a failure with the J hooks and 1/8 ply bulkhead nor the 3/32 tow hook.
The wings will go W A Y before the tow hook fails. I don't think you have
to re-invent the wheel on this one.

Lee, don't worry about itthe plane
is such a floater that the weight your concerned about won't really matter. I've
flown and built 2 of them back in the 70's.Don't get bored with all the air
time you'll get. I've built and flown all of Ed's planes other than
Paramount. All great.
