F2G-1, I guess I'm a visual kind of guy, I need pictures, if at all possible. I don't understand what you sre doing with the 1/4 20 nylon bolts. Are you simply replacing the dowels with the nylon bolts, or are you using them to secure the wings somehow. See what I mean by visual?

That's a great idea, removing the area of the square made by the cabanes. Assembly should be a lot easier. I'm putting smoke on mine, since it is so light. I'm using a 16 oz fuel tank, & a 8 oz tank for the smoke oil, stacked on top of each other, so removing this area will be a big help.

I think anybody would be happy with 50cc plane[1450 sq in] that comes in under 16 lbs. I have a EF 87" Yak that weighs 15lbs 2 oz, & people say it flies like a 40%.
What prop are you using on your 3.2? Right now I'm running a NX 22/8 @ 7250 rpm, & it pulls real good. My 3.2 has about 5 gal through it, & it keepss getting stronger.

I'm anxious now to get mine completed. Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll do them to mine.
