Default RE: patriot 40 plans - help

well , just purchased the Patriot kit that was on ebay.

i would like to thank all of you who replied here.
it is absolutely fantastic that there is a group of people like you who are willing to help.

Thank you summerwind for all your help.


as for the Patriot, i am planning on "improving" her a bit - mainly reducing drag by adding fillets between the fuselage and the wing,
adding small winglets to the wingtips to reduce vortex thus reducing drag.
strenghten the main spars by UD carbon fibers,
microglassing it with the lightest fabric avaliable (25gr/m).

it is going to be a fun little project.
