Default RE: BRIO Construction by the numbers

Hmmm, as one buddy of mine calls it, the law of compensating factors (one cancels the other out). <g> You also got to take into account how true and accurate your measuring device is. If its off the shelf from your local hardware store, the odds are it isn't. Then there is the effects of temperature on the material, the change in materials as the layed up material cures, etc., etc, etc, etc. If your within a 1/16th of an inch, the odds are it won't make that significant of a difference in how the plane flys. Heck, the fuselage and wings etc probably all flex that much or more in flight. Bottom line, there ain't a composite kit out there that is going to be perfect.
