Mike - thanks again for the info. I didn't airfoil the struts. I just rounded them over front and back and then sprayed the bare wood with Klass Kote epoxy (the same as I used on everything else that was painted).

I think it's going to be a great flying little plane, but yeah, it's not exactly scale. It looks like a Cub if you aren't real picky though.

Another buddy of mine wants one sort of like you built. He wants ailerons, but he wants the wings clipped. He says he has never flown a Cub that he's liked unless it was a clipped wing version. If he has me build one, I'll just take off one rib bay at first and see how it looks (without using glue). If it looks ok, then we'll go with it. Otherwise we'll adjust all the ribs to space them evenly while making the span whatever he thinks he wants it to be.

Thanks again for the information your provided.

- Paul
