Same weight as the stock muffler. My muffler is made from schedule 10 aluminum pipe.

Status: offline 		Cool! The US is not the best first kit, (only due to the nose and wingtip carving) but it's far from the worst!

You can cut down on the wintip sanding by doing what I do: First, skip what they say about hollowing them out, it's not worth the trouble. Second, rather than sand them round, I just round the edges so the tips are flat on the outside (I think it looks better like that anyway)

Also, if you haven't been following along... A very good mod is to move the gear out by one rib bay. It makes for a wider stance and better ground handling.

Another good mod is to cut about 1/3 of the inboard ailerons and use them for flaps. (On the 60-size they have you cut about 4" off the OUTboard side of the ailerons and glue them to the Trailing Edge - If you go with flaps, skip that step and run the ailerons out to the wingtips like on the 40)

Status: offline 		Hey Minn, Without having gone back thru the 48 other pages of this thread, I am looking for a quick opinion on the US40.
Does it still have room for my Dave Brown mech retracts?
Also, do you move them out 1 bay like on the 60?

I did all that to my US60, but never built a 40 yet.
Who is the better Foam wing supplier for the US60?

Tower and Advantage Hobby (the two sites I use) you can set up email notifications.  If you notice a particular item is back ordered or "coming soon" or out of stock or "by early Dec" place it in your cart.  The website will then ask if you want an email notification to when the product is in stock.  When I checked my email yesterday morning, both sites had emailed me to let me know the US 40 was in stock.  Then it was just a matter of waiting for the LHS to open at 10am and making a phone call to order them for me (match's tower price, no shipping, plus a 15% discount for club members on most items).  I'll get them both next week, and simply haul them to the basement of the hobby shop where our club has a build/assemble/repair area.

However, I DID notice that Tower kept jacking up the price of the US 40 kit from $99 when they announced it was "coming soon" to $119 when it was in stock.  Guess they had to make up for the "special" offer codes.

Where and what do you fly John?  We're practically neighbors!

It's for either really, it just gives it a wider stance which makes it more stable on the ground (Less chance of tipping and scraping a wingtip - especially when you turn)

If you use retracts, it also allows for a slightly longer gear strut.

If I do go with the foam wing, then I'll stick some build pics as I go along.

Status: offline 		A question about joining the wing halves. Both the US 40 and the US 60 have all the dihedral in the bottom of the wing: the top of the wing is flat. So is there any reason to follow the kit directions to join the halves right-side-up with the tips blocked up? Why not just join them with the halves upside-down and flat on the board? (I'm building my first 60, with flaps and fully sheeted wings, as suggested by posts on this thread. )

Here's my plane:

She's been in a couple of accidents, but the rebuild was done well.  I was not the original builder, but I did a full re-cover after the last rebuild (over 15 years ago).  It's got an O.S. 61SF (no pump) swinging a 12x6 prop.  Such a sweet motor on a sweet airplane.  I LOVE flying it!  It may not be all crazy and 3D, but who cares.  I always have a grin on my face while flying this plane!

(My wife and son are checking it out the day I resurrected it after being in storage for many, many years)
