Thanks for the nice compliments guys.
BillS, rryman (Randy) built his at 17 1/4 lbs and he does'nt have flaps and he says it even lands very good and is so pleased with it that he is not going to add flaps in the future. I guess if you build it under 17 1/2 lbs, then you probably dont need them. But I saw what I wanted to do and changed my mind totally around and decided to go "Heavy Metal" all out scale. Well, almost.
Adding flaps to finished foam core wing is much easier to do than to a finished built up wing. Been there both times.
gsmith6879, Great to hear it. On the vertical mill, get the spindel speed as high as it will go. Also, in your instance, because vert. millling machines dont get the rpm's, you may need a finer or 4 fluted end mill. Just remember, clean cuts, parallel slots and precision depths.
