Today i decided to clip the wings. Took close to 5 inches off each side so now the wingspan is around 41".

I had never measured the wingspan so when i cut almost 10" off i was wondering what the deal was when i measured it at 41" since the manufacturer says the WS is 44". Well they are wrong and i measured the WS holding the tips back in place and got 50-3/4". Not sure why there is more then a 6" difference from what the manufacturer list.

Anyways i am waiting to try this plane out tonight after work. Hopefully it will handle fine. I am expecting it to be faster and more maneuverable. I would think it should be more stable in the wind since there is less wing surface to be caught by gusts.

I will give you guys an update after giving it a test flight.
