Bob Said: Thanks Jerry-- I want to pick your brain just a little more--You mention the bottom fuse stringers--did they bow on you or are you referring to it just being a soft spot for hanger rash?

Yep, picking up this bird with the wings on requires one hand UNDER the fuse :-)

Do you recall how the plane balanced with the Moki?

I had the battery right behind the firewall if I remember correctly.

How about setting wing incidence??

No problems at all....I did mount the wings with the Laser Incidence Meter from Hobbico and it was 'right on'. One thing I did with the upper wing was to mount the lower wing and then only drill and mount the rear bolt on the top wing.

Then measure, tweek, measure, bump, measure the top/bottom relationship as viewed from the top, BEFORE drilling the forward hole. Mine came w/i 1/16" of being perfect

Also do you recall if there were any areas you would beef up??

Never tore up the landing gear! And I flew off grass mostly and the wheel pants stayed ON all the time!

Perhaps some carbon fiber tape or gusseting?? Thank you so much for your input,I really do value it---Isn't it great we have this forum??? Tks Bob

No problem....and yes, I've learned SO MUCH from this whole Internet thing...especially RC Universe!!!!
