Default RE: NEW PLANE!!!

Wow they really changed the plane alot. My plane is a simple wooden structure inside the plastic fuselage. The wings are foam core and covered with Lanier 'Aeroskin'. The plastic on mine is prone to cracking out, and I'm probably going to have to retire the plane after this season. I also converted mine to a tail dragger. Are your tail feathers balsa? If so, you may want to consider adding to the rudder, as I know the stock one is pretty small. With the tail plane on the thrust line, this plane will knife edge very well, with no coupling. Mine is so good, I take off, and go into instant knife edge just a few feet off the ground.
