Oldtyme: Thanks for your response. I would like to hear more about your flights of the Contender. I'm so
glad us old guys can do this hobby. It is so much fun.

I added 1/2" width the the ailerons at the wing tip end. So, in effect, a probably added 20 to 25% more aileron
surface area. I, also, took the jog out of the rudder. I ran it in a straight line. Probably 10% more. I am using the
upswept tips. I kinda liked the looks, and I was told it help avert what Badger was referring to, and also tip stalling.

As soon as I complete, I am carrying to the field for my instructor to maided. I can't wait. I really like
the looks of this plane. I was so fortunate to find this kit on E-bay. If I could find another, I would buy it.

Andy, if you get a chance post a picture of yours for us. I would enjoy adding it to my collection of favorite planes.

Sincerely,
