Found a mix of 3/16 hardwood in my 'stores'. Not sure which wood is what, however i've decided to mix them for each side because I don't have enough of the same wood to do both (But make the mix the same on both sides)

There isn't an allowance for joining on the plan ? Or rather not for 3ft sticks so a joint is required top and bottom longerons (approx 68" total length required)

i've decided to put a doubler between two uprights at each join

Gary had to put 1kg of lead ballast up the front (even with a 45cc super tigre engine) so it's reassuring to know forward of C.of G. i can pretty much do what I like
