Default RE: Mini-Dust

I've never built one, but it seems if you can get all your gear mounted at or ahead of the CG, there shouldn't be any problem. Since 80% of the covering material is behind the CG, switching to LITESPAN type covering would help alot. What are the twin fins made out of? Nothing heavier than 3/32" balsa I hope. In general, the choice of wood can make or break little stuff like this and sometimes the kit parts aren't useable for anything more than template material. I would hate to hang a heavy spinner off the front end, but Norvel does make something like that out of aluminum, and it comes with a grade 8 bolt.
