Default RE: 1/5 Pepsi Chipmunk - Build

James,
It looks like the Apache kit has been upgraded (I like it) from the older Ohio RC kit. Ribs and u/c blocks look stronger! Don't know if you mentioned if you are building the two piece wing? Thanks for the photos, hope to see the rest of your build.
I have read not to use the spark plug (Chinese) that comes with the DLE 35, use the Japanese NGK CM6. And check the advance timing, should be 28 degrees.
Bogbeagle, thank you for your explanation on the washout. I want the plane to be neutral as much as possible for aerobatics. Sounds like I will be ok and probably not that adverse.
Any comments on aerobatics would be appreciated. Rick[8D]
