Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

I came up with an easy and quick fix for any joiner slop in the fuse . I used two small squares of metallic tape on the bottom of the joiner slots in the fuse. Then I took some red vinyl tape and covered it. Was just a tad bit harder to insert the wings the first time,,but the gap was gone. I usually never noticed the slop till after the first flight. I always check it before each flight along with the other usual items we all look over before takeoff. This seems to fix the wear problem and is cheap and clean. No epoxy. No CA. Painless.

I also included a pic of my bruised wingtip. I have written VF asking if there is a way to repair it. Doesn't seem to impair flight. Thought maybe one of you might have an easy fix for getting a wrinkle out.
