Default RE: Top Flite Contender

Hey Campbec,
nice fusion on the Chiptendermonkey,
all the best for the maiden.
My Contender is ready to cover in the bones.
Just need to get the wingsaddle right. There is quite a gap like
in your last picture and it bothers me.
I replaced the wooddowels with birchwood filled aluminum arrowshaft and glued
brass tubing to match in the doubled bulkhead, came out with no slob [sm=thumbup.gif] but the wingsaddle
doesn't match now. [&o]
I thought about taking the shape from the plan and glue another wingsaddle on each
side of the fuse to get closer to the wing.

or

spread some epoxy microballoon mix on the saddle and bolt the wing on with
waxpaper to make it fit.
do you have another idea?

2slow, where did you end up with the battery pack?
