A word of caution to you guys planning to cut into the fuselage; be careful.

Mine fell off the wall rack the other night and landed on the corner of a stool, knocking a fist-sized hole in the side of the fuse exactly halfway between the tail and rear of the wind saddle.

I had to cut into the bottom to effect the repair. The fuselage is constructed of VERY light balsa, with lite ply "stiffener strips" running vertically, halfway between each former.

Basically, all you've got back there are stringers and thin balsa sheet.

What a bummer; trashed before the first flight. At least it went back together okay, and I was careful when I cut the covering, so it doesn't look bad.

Maiden flight tomorrow; and naturally gale force winds are forecast. Oh, well...
