Default RE: Original 70's Contender kit

Safebet: That is one nice looking Contender. I can tell that you are a skilled builder. Thanks
for the photo's as I was just a little confused about just how much the wing tips were to be angled up. One pilot at a field flying his Contender mentioned that the rudder area needed to
be increased as rudder control was not good during landing when the wing blanked out the rudder as was the case with the full size Swift aircraft. Let us know what you find when you
start flying the model. It would be a lot easier to mod the rudder during building than have to
do it after installation. Are you including the flap during construction?

As a Navy guy, it is nice to see your plane flying Naval colors. Think I will do mine in blue.

Thanks for sharing you construction with us.
