Ok, BilleFly, I get your point. But I am putting a lot more energy in finding a replacement and am coming to the conclusion that its quite difficult to get a 20cc airplane. Most of the good ones are 30cc and too long (I cant transport more than 60").

After I posted the video, I noticed that the inside of the wing between the wingtube and wood had a little bit of gap. Like I said, I ran 5min epoxy into this. Also I noticed that one wing had the wingtube sit loose. I was just a little bit so I ran god old duct tape over the wingtube lengthwise and it fits more snugly now.

I will check the length of the wingtube also.

I was to fly the airplane today but problems at the field (its a horse rase track, there were races today) meant I couldnt. I will check it next week. Hopefully by then I will also have a proper succession plan for this airplane

BilleFly, note one thing. This was a testbed for the gas setup- cheap and expendable. I picked it up old stock as well and at a discounted rate. I dont want to expend too much effort on repairing it. Good monokote just isint available locally. I have stuff I ordered from Tower and its too expensive and yellow in colour. I just want to ensure that the airplane is sturdy enough to last till I manage to get a successor which is quickly beginning to look like the Reactor Bipe
