RE: Started my 4*60 today.
Hog Head,
He had to do a complete redesign as he didn't scale the plans. I was surprised by his comments too, but like you said, he was the designer.
I was hoping that the .82 would turn it into a rocket. I intend to have max fun out of this project. I have a new .82 now but it will go on a pattern plane that I'm building. I guess I'll just have to get another one. sheesh I have a Sig Kavalier with strip ailerons and I've read where they can flutter at high speeds. I was thinking of very high speeds for the 4*.
I'm going to leave the canopy stock as I want it to look like a Smoothie. They are identical. The balsa nose will complete the whole lookalike thing. Thanks for the shots of yours. Those helped.
