i am not able to upload photos, or have not done it right, but here goes. the wedgie was built using propworns instructions and pics. i cut the wings from 1 lb. foam. the wing is symmetrical. wing tip is 7 inches and root is 13 inches, and balsa sheeting 3/32 on bottom and 1/16 on top,and this does not include ailerons which are 1 1/2 inches wide. the ailerons where made from trailing edge material and negated the need for sanding to shape. wing tips are 4mm coro, 4 ounce round tank, os 25 fx, hs-225 servos for elvons and micro for throttle. i used a 750 nimh battery mounted under tank, spektrum gear, and what ever covering material i had laying around. i needed to add 1/3 ounce to right wing tip to balance laterally and c of g was 6 15/16. total all in weight was 2 lbs 12 ounces. this plane should go like a bat if i built it properly. all i have to do now is wait for spring.
