RE: Fiberglassing question

I have a Saito 91 that is missing the lock nuts - do I have to order them as a Saito part or are they available from other sources? They are 7mm. Thanks

RE: bigger Something Extra?

The only Uproar kit I see is a 40 size with a 48 inch span - is there a bigger one?  I don't have a kit to trace the parts from, just a built plane.

RE: Scratch building Astro Hog ( help with tail)

There are no rubber bands anywhere, maybe the very first Astro Hogs built in 1957 used that -but not our planes. It sounds like you have the horizontal stab figured out. There doesn't seem to be any...
