Default RE: Stunt Chimp

I'm not even sure anymore where I got the plans. The plan shows to have been drawn by Doug Carson in '96. When I tried to relocate the site I came across very similar plans at Richard Stewart's site, http//au.geocities.com/rbs588490/plans,htm. My plan has a span of 21" for an area of about 97 square inches. When I stacked balsa parts and engine on my cheap little spring scale it showed 4.5 oz. Hopefully the weight will stay under 8 oz. finished. Thanks for the tip about the CG location for beginners. It's been years since I attempted CL flying with my son so I'm beginning all over again myself. I'm trying to decide on a finish. I have some Econocote left over from an abandoned sailplane project, or I could order some dope from Sig or Brodac as the LHS doesn't have much to choose from. I was worried that I might warp the sheet wing with the dope. Thanks for the advise.
