Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

I'm also building a Mosquitobiteplanes Tri-Pacer. Just about done buiding it. Just have to complete the covering and install the flight pack, fuel tank and engine. Oh yeah, and install the second strut.

This kit is a dream to build. Most of it was completed in about 7 days. I couldn't stop building once I started. The instructions are very complete and clear. Anything you're not sure of when reading the instructions is quickly apperent when you look over the two roled plan sheets.

The wing went together very quickly and is nice and straight, but then again this didn't really surprise me since I'd already built one of their T-Rex's this spring. They've used the same style of wing construction, complete with clamping the main spar root in a vice and hanging the spar extensions and ribs off of that.

To make sure the wing was straight, I once again used a laser line generator sitting on one end of the main spar and aimed it along the spar toward the other wing tip. Once again a perfectly straight wing!
