Shmo46,

Please send those cores back, they're TOP SECRET and weren’t meant for distribution… Just kidding…

The set of cores you received are a little wider and I apologize for not updating the instructions. The previous AVENGER kits, including the cores I’ve been flying all season, were shrunk slightly when translated to the CNC foam cutter. When Mike F. redid the data points to include the spar grooves the original size came back.

Long story short, the wings I used for Tucson, the same cores you received, ended up being about a ½” longer then the instructions and plans. I just trimmed the trailing edge off to a thickness of 0.5” which left a root chord of 8.0” and tip chord of 5.0”. I couldn’t tell much difference from the old set of cores but the durability was improved plus the pre-cut spar grooves are great.

If you have any more questions or comments shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].

I’m in the middle of designing the AVENGER 9.0, like you said, “Nothings Perfect”.
