OK, guys. Here's the plans and the instructions in PDF. Remember: the CG is wrong on the plans. Measure 15-3/4" forward of the Trailing edge of the wing (not the elevon). That's where it belongs. Also, you'll need at least 3/8" up elevon trim for your first flight. Finally, you MUST put three degrees downthrust into the engine or motor, as compared to the centerline of the wing. If you don't, it will be all but unflyable. There's some other items, but those are the critical ones. BTW, I got my carbon fiber tubing from dragonplate.com. The 3/8" tubing for the wing spars will nest into their 1/2" tubing perfectly, without binding, so you don't have to make those silly boxes shown on the plans. Enjoy.
