wind junkie

My Feedback: (1)

I agree with Design Man --Separate elevator/ ailerons work better for this plane than elevons. I used torque rods inside for the ailerons for less drag, but putting them outside is easier.

I've got an old beat up Toucan that only flys in heavy wind now, but the original had a nice wind range.

I would NOT build the wing like the article says. Build it in one piece and glass the center rather than using the short ply joiner. Then slip it inside the fuselage so the wing is continuous inside. Cut holes in wing for servos as needed, but don't cut into the LE. That joiner as originally designed will punch through the sheeting in hard landings. Better to let the sheeting take the load inside across the center joint.
