I always fit it, because the system of fit the wing not is enough for fit the fins.

Hey Carlos.
Some feel the need to do a bulkhead in the fuselage to sink in fasteners and so on, and some fly without. Out of the build process, its probably the obstacle that I look forward to the least! If you were to build in a few features to give a more secure wing + fin fastening (saving the builder time, scraped knuckles, and head-scratching) it might go a long way to differentiating your jet from the other manufacturer in Europe. Are you using traditional built up fins and wings, or are yours composite as well?

One product idea for you... Several years ago someone (I think it was in Brazil, the Dominican, or some other South American location) flew a hotspot in a speed competition. They made a composite low-profile canopy insert. It matched the fuselage really nice, but cut the height of the canopy down to what looked like 1/2 or 1/3 of stock. If you were to offer such a product, I'm pretty sure a few of us would show interest in them... Just a thought to share.


Bart,
The reflex in those wings is very subtle...! I also have a Yellow Aircraft Stingray, and their reflex is much more obvious. On top of the built in reflex, the stingray still needs the elevons offset to fly level though... Anyhow, I'll PM you my email address. I'm curious to compare the profiles to my older wings.

Thx,
Kelly
