Default RE: "slasher" versus spad

Thanks, Kirk. That wing is almost an exact copy of one of Lee's Cobra's. Since then I have narrowed up the root chord to around 9" and may go a little less just so I have a little more room to change my CG to suit conditions and my reflexes that day It's about 5.5" on the tip. I put some big winglets on it in the field yesterday as it was waging pretty bad and REALLy bad when I had a streamer out there. Made a huge difference and I plan on doing a lot more with winglets.

For that pic we were doing some testing for a club plane with no cans or pipes. Currently I have an OSFX on it with a kombat kan and it hauls!!

I tape a FG rod inside the LE with bi-di. Props usually break when they hit the rod or the maple spar I use. They do cut right through if they don't hit the rod or the spar but haven't had any big rips that I could'nt either tape up or ignore.
