Default RE: .40 SIZED FLYING WING

IE, the scale you are working at makes built up flaps practical. Here, the chord of the elevon is only 1.5", so by the time I build something up in that space the LE and TE would be almost touching. I like the idea of CV over solid slab elevons. Is the weave tight enough to give a paintable surface?

Dave, if all goes well I'll have a Nelson FAI RTR someday. My old one is toast and I bought up the last P/L sets PS had......but those liners are .040" smaller than my case. So to make things right, Dave is searching for a compatible case to the new liners and all should be well someday. So this plane might get a dose of fearsome power, if not I'll go with the Jett. That is probably wiser anyway, get the bugs worked out then go for the "max power load" later.

The aluminum torque tubes are probably doweled, too?
