Default RE: Magnum 80

Bentwings,

Thanks for that report!

I'm wanting to build one of these with 4 stroke power, thinking probably going with .70-.80 size engines, maybe .90's. High pitch props since the 4 strokers can't turn the RPMs that the 2 strokes can. What's your opinion on that? But, I love 2 strokes also, so they aren't out of the question either.

You said foam core is the way to go? Thanks for that advice! What kind of foam did you use? Would you recommend the blue or pink eps foam, or the white "beaded" foam? I've never built a foam wing before, but I built all the foam cutting stuff I need (nice power supply, automatic feathercut type machine, bows, etc) as some rainy day projects a few years back... so I'm set there... just never have used it!

Also, did you build the anhedral into the tail, or just leave it flat?
