Default RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B

papajeff,
Nice build forum. Just a tip, something I ran into when I built mine last year, Check the main wings. On mine the alignment holes were not identical and one of the wings had way more angle fore and aft then the other. Would have made a really nasty maiden if I hadn't caught it.
And yep the wings flex like all get out, especially on a loop. Permant attatchment of the wings is near impossible, a lot of strain there, and usually the fuselage gives if you glue the wings on.
Lastly she glides like a dream. Even with those thin little wings. But also those thin wings can make a take off messy if you try and horse it off the ground, needs to have speed built up.
