ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me
Glad to hear,
I was thinking, after your earlier post, about ways to simplify the assembly process. I leave the plane home and fly my 50cc Extra unless I plan to stay at the field for the day. I think a few less bolts would make me more likely to brings the plane out. And frankly I'm getting sick of dropping washers and nuts in the grass when I'm putting on the outer struts. this is the real PITA
1- modifying the outer struts with bind nuts instead of nut/washers/screws, I think just loosing the nylock nuts would make a world of difference
2- Yes,, making the top wing One piece, or just leave it together and re-do the servo extension like you describe
pretty sure I've seen yellow electrical tape at Home Depot before,,

good luck
Thanks for the link on the tape, that will hide it just fine..
I here ya on the screws, a real PIA.. I been leaving the struts attached to the bottom wings in the shop while taking apart and putting back together.. I have a Van for with PVC racks I made for the wings for transportso I think I will be leaving them attached to the bottom. It will cut down on some of the work at the field.. I might try leaving them attached to the top wing instead, that way your not trying to work upside down.
