ORIGINAL: cmoulder

I seem to recall reading in the Tower website tech notes a wing area figure of 681 sq in,
ALL I FOUND at Tower was this:<pre>Specs:Span 63.8"weight 7.5-7.95lbLength 50.39"specs such as wing aera and wing loading are not provided by the manufacturerI'm quite certin that post #16 at (831 sq" of aeria) was incorrect.</pre>http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4941634

I read that some people have a problem with the airplane snap-rolling at odd times.
because of the high wing loadind as an electric(3830g) i added some 10mil milar wedges
at the wing tip.They start at the spar and go to the TE of the ailerons.The front is even with the spar caps
the rear is centered on the control surface and is 2" total,(1" on both sides of aelirons).
Their put on with straping tape,(two small slits in milar just in ft of aileron ).
It will come out of a tumble like it's on railes, flies slower and the ailerons are More efective.
