Chuck, if you are still out there I have a few questions concerning the Discovery Jet that maybe you can answer. I did a number of modifications on the plane. I traded the plywood for balsa in non stress areas and sheeted the wings with 1/16 to try and cut weight. I used a cnc foam cutter to cut the wings so I had the machine core out the foam core. I added strength by vacuum bagging the wing and then glassing it. I also tapered the rear of the fuse and added foam side inlets. I also set it up for retracts. I am thinking that it will come in around 16 lbs. Should have it done in the next few weeks. My questions concerns how much throw are you using in your controls?
Thanks Glenn
