Default RE: BME Edge?

Going out today and will get some photo's of the BME hovering, doing torque rolls, etc. I did find a problem with the "hard points" where the wing bolts are. Hard point, give me a break. It is a balsa block with a 1/2" dia. X 1/8" ply cap glued on. When out tighten the wing bolts it crushes the balsa under. Easy fix though, drill it out with a 1/2" flat point bit (not to deep) down to the wing tube then epoxy in a 1/2" hard wood dowel, problem solved . I will pick on any plane so other people will not have the same problems. All ARF's have some problems, at least the ones I've built. All and all though this plane is hard to beat.
