RE: My new BME Ultimate!
Sorry to hear about your mishap, but glad you're back up in the air again!
The way I have the airplane setup right now, it takes me about 15 minutes to put it together and check it out, then another 5 to adjust the tension of the wires.
I leave the wires connected to the cabane and just drop the ends in the radio compartment when I'm done for the day.
I had a brain cramp yesterday. I put the wings on and installed the hold down screw in the bottom wing tube, but forgot the top!
So, the only thing holding the top wing halves together were the flying wires!
I never knew it until I took the airplane apart!
