"i have the 1/32 lyin' around, but i will need to get the 3/8 sticks. i'm still not sure what you mean by building it with 3/8. what structural changes did you make? I don't get it... "

Mike, I built the stock stab and elevators out of the 6mm balsa sticks provided. 6mm is just a tad smaller that 1/4". Then I read about the elevator failures guys had. So I trashed the stock elevators and built new ones out of 3/8" stick. I just used the plans and tried to basically follow the layout using the bigger sticks. It's not too complicated, just don't build out into the rudder area which would reduce rudder throw. Then I took the stock stab and sheeted it on both sides with 1/16" balsa. This makes the stab within a gnats eyelash of 3/8" thick.


Does that help?
