Hey, Andy....

Good question.. I just rephrased that on the site. I figured the ' with supplied sheeting' would convey that, but maybe I was wrong ;( They do not come sheeted, and will come stock with 1/16'' sheeting, with 1/32'' sheeting available on request. Yes it needs to be seemed and cut before sheeting, 4'' wide balsa. Too many servo/LG options to pre-sheet.

I switched to 1/16'' as stock sheeting due a few comments that 1/32'' sheeting can be a pain to work with, having issues at LE and TE if you aren't very careful sanding LE and TE. There just isn't much wood there.

Thanks for the quick reply, Don.

Next question - are the cores set up for square/shaped LE stock, or for wrapping all the way around? I prefer wrapping myself but I know others prefer the older way.

As for "too many servo/LG options" why not just standardize on the E-Flite electrics? (Yes, I'm biased)

Andy
