Default RE: somethin extra question?

One thing that you may want to address is the REAR dowel that aligns the wings with the fuse! you see about a month before I got to that point on mine, a fellow club member lost a BEAUTIFUL SE do to the thin dowel falling INTO one wing! This made the other wing start spinning and ... well let's just say that it took nearly 15 seconds to impact tera firma and he start yelling right away! Everyone got to se it go in. One of a very few times I heard a fiel full of pilots go completely silent!

The SE doesn't have any stop inside the wing to hold the dowel from slipping sideways into the wing! My advise is to glue it to one wing! I did this on my set of wings with 5 minute epoxy and had no problems!

Oh one last bit of advise, HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The SE is a blast to fly! Harrier to a landing with it is a BLAST!!!
