Default RE: Super Sceptor

Bullard, Dave,

great info and pictures! A few questions:
[ul][*] Why did the models turn out so heavy? 9.5 lbs sounds like at least a pound over desirable. Would you contribute the additional weight to finishing or a fuse which was too heavy?
[*] The wings appear to have a different airfoil compared to the Deception. Other than a possible difference in span and area (do you recall these figures?), do you think the airfoils were different from the Deception? If so, any idea where one could obtain plans for the wing and stab? Rusty?
[*] How was the top deck retained? Dowels in the back and a screw holding the front down? I don't see any hardware visible on the outside - nice!
[*] How much anhedral would you recommend going with based on your observations between the two models?
[/ul]
I'm wondering if this model was actually called a Super Sceptre (or, using American spelling, Scepter) - as in a ceremonial weapon definition?

David.
