But then I am scratch building from the original plans from RCM (all yellow and taped together!) It shows the narrow fuse bulkheads and all. I have no trouble with the rubber band on wing, use a bit of 1/64 ply as a "guard" over the wing slot. the spoilers may or may not appear on MY BOT. I personally do not consider the lack to be a "flaw" so much as a preference. Spot landings are an experience thing, though spoilers do help! They also help in escaping thermals! But how to rig easily in that thin wing? good problem. mark RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
