Default RE: R/C Nobler Topflite Gold Edition

My nobler is almost covered. Whew,, what a pain with the belly pan. The wing was no fun either with these poorly designed wing tips. It is impossible to have a clean aerodynamic wing tip the way these are built. I will take and post photos if I finish the cover today. Functionally all works, but I am concerned the retracts will retract from the wing on the first landing. I am also concerned that ground taxi will be poor due to position of the wheels with the retracts. This is a design function and now a how built.

I added spruce to the cut rib for the strut coil to add some strength. The lite ply is just too weak after removing material.

More to come.. Jim

Don't have cg yet,, until I assemble after covering.
