Default RE: Shocky's Weight

Yeah, I really like the idea of "clip-on" control surfaces. Ive never liked tape. It comes loose, dirt gets under the tape, It leaves a shiny strip across the wing, etc. The other problem with taped on control surfaces, is if you have to replace one, the tape tears off the painted on graphics. Or in the tensors case, the graphics are sprayed on over the tape, so you now have a 1" wide gap in your graphics. Lately many of us have been flying KE across the gym, dragging the wingtips on the floor. And doing flat spin landings. It really eats the ailerons up. It would be nice to just pop a new one on.

I also really like those new control horns. 80 degrees deflection on all the control surfaces...yup, thats gonna be AWESOME.
