all good points gpb- thanks again! Yes, I have been trying to be consciece of the weight factor- I drilled the fuse with a drillbit at thicker places , removing excess material there. I also watched how much gorilla glue I was using when I glued the spars and upper and lower ply wing pieces on last nite. A little goes a long way with that glue

I also made sure that the spars were a tad lower than the top of the wing by deepening the channels just a little bit. Those look good now.
GPB, any combat/flying tips you can give a first timer combat ripper pilot that hasnt been listed yet?
Whats your best way that you fly in order to score a cut that you could share? GPB, feel free to pm me if you wish so others wont know your secrets, LOL
Btw, hows the leg now?
Thanks once again!!!!!
