I found it hard to launch holding on to the pod and have switched to holding
the tail boom.
The new wings have bent CF joiners. This to allow the tube on the tip panel
to be long enough that I can't blow the tip up on a two man F3J tow. :-)
The spars are CF tubes. The one in the main panel has a wood piece in it to
prevent collapse.

we do on regular fuselages? Is it hard to control in the wind when
launching using either grip method?

> 2. Could you please describe a little bit about the tip joiners? What is
the diameter? Are they bent to provide the dihedral angle? Etc?

going to have a tail boom that is will be about a 1" diameter where you
would grip it. So I wanted to see others experiences. Thanks for you help!
