Default RE: Question on Wing build

Shortly after the release of the kit I built the Sig Kadet LT-40 for the most righteous but now defunct RC Report magazine. I was quite alarmed that the instructions called for only thin ca to be used for joining the wing panels. Thin ca to join a 70" wing? Egad! But one of Gordon's stipulations for test reports was that the instructions should be followed, so follow them I did.

I liked the LT-40 so well that I kept it. It must have had close to 1000 flights, give or take a few, and the wing held fast. The ultimate demise of that particular plane was caused by the vertical fin parting company with the fuse. Despite the resulting smack into a concrete runway the wing held fast.

I'm just sayin'.
