It never had flutter, Ailerons are small.
Just tring to help with my experience, I guess we all fly differently-I'm a bit of crazy flyer, I like to Test the limits of speed with all my planes. Hence 2THELMT

I was wondering what '2thelmt' meant...I should have known! LOL

I was hoping to have mine done to fly tomorrow...but it's looking like I probably won't have it done by then. I tend to over-analyze things, and also tend to go over-board making things as neat as I possibly can...these are not good traits for Coroplast & PVC planes! Oh well, at least I have (4) of the best looking PVC horns you'll ever see! LOL

I'll throw a picture up when it is done...but it is nothing special. I'm building it almost to the letter, and not putting any graphics on it. I'm still not exactly sure what my profile fuse will look like, and if I don't think of something soon, it'll probably just end up looking something like a 'Hots'.

Status: offline 		Well Tatoo, you seem to be the go to guy for these things!!! i just ordered a stack of coreplast from Harbor, in white, My question is, What are you using to achieve your great looking color schemes? Paint stick on or what? I am going to build a SPA3D unless you tell me another is better ( PQHOR or QUOR) intend to build the Gee Bee too cause it looks so cool. Going with the GMS 47 for power I think

Status: offline 		Hey Tattoo thanks for the plans for such a great flyer!
We have made several flights, and the boys with the expensive 3D's, big 4 strokes etc. want me to make them a SPAD 3D.
I'm using a TT42 for power, and reduced the size of the wing and fuselage by 2" so it would fit in my sub-compact car. The plane lifts off in a few feet, power is reduced to 1/2 or less throttle for rolls, loops etc. The roll rate is WOW! with those 4" controls, and 3"(each way) of throw. Well, you said "As much as possible" on the throws. Elevator with that much throw is touchy, and will sure chase it's tail, but requires TLC when landing.
My 1st SPAD is still logging flight time which speaks to the strength of your designs. Keep up the good work!!!

Alvin

Daddyo,

The best thing I've found is the vinyl from the sign shop. They have every color imaginable and it is easy to apply. It is name brand too. My sign shop sells it to me for $2 a foot from a 2 foot wide spool. I've found that Sig decals work nice too. Just put a little windex down and then place your vinyl or decal. Then squeegie out the windex and you are set. It stays on for good. This is what is used on my PQHOR (which I love!).
