Default Draco Question

Has anyone built a draco with 4 mil Coro? 2 mil is real hard to find here in CT so consequently all I have to work with is 4 mil. I'm thinking the extra weight would make a big difference but I defer to those of you with more experience and noodles than I have.

Thanks

Paul

I think 4 mill would work fine for a Draco.
Folding the wing out of 4 mill will take some effort though.
A heat gun would help or use a dremal tool with a rotor bit to cut the fold line.
( You can do the same thing for cutting hinges across the flutes )
I did that with a giant 4 mill muggi and it made folding the 4 mill easy.
good luck.
