Default RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Hi,

I don't think that stripping the whole of the wing is worth doing! I would like to think that the aircraft would stand up to the forces that any small jet would put on it. We must make sure that all of the glue joints do in fact have glue on them, as most of the joints are dry.
Depending on what type of jet you plan to put on it. I don't think anyone should go too mad with this particular aircraft as it is a cheap BVM type alternative to the Bobcat. So lets keep it as a cheap project not only in money but time. Wingarts machine flys great on his Wren 54 power plant, he has upgraded the aileron hinges and control rods.
I have left my hinges as was, but upgraded my rods to 3mm. I'm using a Wren 44 gold 10lbs thrust. And if you check out the build thread over on RC Groups you'll see the need to add glue is essential.
Regarding the removable wing, I hope that mine fits into my car in one piece, I don't fancy taking it apart each time.
Good luck in your quest
