Claudio,

If you decide to do the Zinger later use the rib spacing for the smaller wing. The larger one is a bit much for the Babe Bee. The complete construction details on that plane makes it almost fool-proof.

If you are going to use the Dacron line, tie it to the leadouts on the plane and keep the line as one piece by running it through the handle. This allows easy center adjustment. Just leave the lines attached to the plane.

Use close spacing on the handle at first (which will yield less sensitive control). Later you can move to the outer spacing when you can better handle more control movement.

Expect to get dizzy at first from turning around with the model. That will go away after you have flown some.

Good luck and welcome to CL flying.

George
