Knife edge flight had a significant belly tuck. I could fly it on the sticks ok, but added a rudder to elevator mix to make it easier. I had added 1" to the rudder I don't know if this contributed to the belly tuck or not but the plane certainly can do decent knife edge flight.

I have kept all the "frames" after releasing the parts for outlines, this enabled me to fabricate the necessary wing ribs. Estimating the lighting holes is really easy to do.

Mike,

The saito seems to have survived with nothing but a good coating of dirt. I will strip it and have a good look anyway, but all seems good. Thanks for looking in and I am glad you have enjoyed the thread - have you seen my Tiger Moth thread a little further down. Now there is a serious build.
