I think part of my fascination with the Hornet are the wings so to see a model fully operational is pretty cool. Ca-mon give into the peer pressure and build in LE flaps! Lol

True about the wings as you said, once you take away the moving parts its like half gone! How strong must that wing structure be on the FS bird!

If i remember correctly, theres 30-40 bolts per wing edge (IE 30-40 on the top, and another set on the bottom) holding the wings to the fuse...
