Default RE: Twin-Air 45 build thread

As much as I would like to I don't see me "hanging it by the prop" or doing complex IMAC maneuvers with the Twin-Air. So the optimum rudder configuration for me is more a cosmetic thing than anything else. I am surprised to hear that the dual-rudder option is shown on the 25 plans but not on the 45. If there is any way someone could give me a look at the 25 plans for it I would be very interested. And after thinking about it, gettting the control linkage clean would be my biggest concern. It will be several weeks before I need to make a comitment so there is plenty of time to consider my options.

How about dihedral? The plans call for a total of 4" which seems like a bunch. I don't want the plane to fly like a trainer! I am hoping it will have more of a 4* feel.

I am still working on the wing but progress will be slow this week- long work days! But I have the next two off for the holidays so I should move along pretty quickly once we reach the weekend.
