Hideho all,

Nice pics and very nice covering to differentiate up from down...
I have to disagree with your assessment of the quality of the wing, however. Many wings do not need the shear webs going the "proper" way you describe, the H-9 Edge is just one for example.
Todays wings have been designed so that allot of structural integrity comes from the covering. I would rather have the mfg consider this and build me as light of a wing as possible than go overboard and heavily glue/reinforce each joint. I would rather make a simple repair on a busted clean joint after a cartwheel or similar accident than to cutout and remove structure that has been "beefed".
Furthermore, we the modeling consumers have been screaming build it lighter and the ever so popular lighter flys better so loud and long that the Mfg's are finally giving us what we want.

I have learned that it is better to build a plane that flys great/lighter rather than holds up well to crashes, (trainers excepted).

I have flown my Razzle so hard and tumbled it so violently that I was able to expose the one real defect in manufacturing, and that's the horiz stab. The balsa on the TE and LE is just too light for that application. Agreed the tail feathers do not have "alot" of glue and that suites me OK, as I'm sure the majority of strength is coming from the covering.

If given the choice by flyers who demand performance over "crash survivability" I'd bet a dollar to a donut that to a man, we would vote build it lighter, not stronger. Sure both are preferable, but we're not in a perfect world either. I can't tell you how exited I am that we are finally getting the planes that we have been pleading for the last couple of years..true 3D capable, fat wing, cool fuse, fiberglass parts, CapExtraEdge tail-feathers, slow flying, non tip-stalling, hover monster, NON profile type plane...
Disclaimer Not that profiles are bad...I have owned at least 5 or 6 of them, (still do) I just wanted something different.

You made the decision to recover and beef up your plane, and you did a fine job. I hope that there is no trade off in performance.
I do really like the difference in top/bottom, and on my left over wing I intend to do something radically different...perhaps a waving flag....

I look foreword to your flight test report.

No offense meant or implied by disagreeing with you.

Good luck
