As for printers, presently we run on a 10 colour perfector with coating cababilities. That is sheet fed.

For glorified photocopies, that's on a roll from a machine that prints things like architectural line drawings. Still a limiting factor is width. I do agree with chopping up the plans. Prefer not to myself.

And you can still et that the reason that they do it the way that they do is because it is less expensive than any other way. That's what drives production decisions, no tboth your and my preference for rolled, unbroken plans.

The tail is heavy. If you read a lot of the earlier posts, you'll see that. There's a lot more wood there than necessary. HObbico/Great Planes who owns the Dyanflite brand has a history as far back as I can remember - let's say the 1980's or so when they started out by picvking up the Bridi designs,m had a history of using very heavy wood. I know that from experience.

In any case, I started with a Super Tigre 2500 and moved to a Super Tigre 3000. My servos were at the rear of the cabin and the heavy 4500mAh battery was to the front. I was able to balance without any extra weight.

You'll see lots of people much earlier on agree with the heavy tail. You'll see some posts where people used a G-38 or similar engine who also had a heavy tail. In fact, IMO the whole plane is heavy. The generous use of lite ply is definitely a factor in that.

You'll also see that a lot of found that the stock landing gear is weak.
Mine is burried way bck near the start. I don't remember eactrly where. It's the fluorescent orange plane with the tundra tires and the Scout color scheme.
