Hi Rick,
I'm happy to here back from you and glad your back on line. I was wondering why you had not replied! I own my first computer and have been on line for about one year. No problems to date although will happen sooner or later. Hopefully later!
Health and family come first, then there is model airplanes!
Cloud Bound 4 update,
I decided not to use fuselage modifications listed on the Skybench website. I am using mostly the original construction method plus a few modifications of my own. My modifications simplify construction and add extra strength. The appearance and dimensions of my model will be identical to the original Cloud Bound 4.
I added two 1/4" balsa formers inside my fuselage. One in front of the wing and one behind. This makes the fuselage easier to build and stronger. I am not using Ray's recommended 1/64 ply doublers. I don't think they are necassary. I will fiberglass the inside of the fuselage for additional strength.
Cloudbound, Mike
