Gene,
Thanks! The Easy Eagle (a discontinued Ace R/C bird) has flaps, but they aren't full length. I'm going to try a few things with this plane later on in it's life, but for now I'm going to get very familiar with it. The order of business is to complete the construction so I can enjoy what it has to offer, do some reading about aerodynamics (so I don't have to concoct analogies from such limited experience when trying to explain things ), and THEN start changing things....
I want to develop a "feel" for building- something that I know will come with more time.




Ollie,
I won't be changing the Sailaire. I'm going to leave it just the way it is..... I will, however, play with the Easy Eagle. It's part of my process. I don't own a mule, but with the price of gas the way it is, maybe I might tie one to my Trans Am.

Bruce,
I'll see you at Burnaby Lake- if it stops raining long enough (FYI There's going to be an AGM January 18 at Bonsor Rec.)

Thanks guys!

Ted
