Looking for advice---------------
Dream-Flyer - I found the site for the Sirexwasp yesterday and down-loaded all three or four DXF files for the various Wasps. IMO, the Hornet looks the best.
Like yourself, I'm not one to stick to the plans, even the ones I draw. I'll use CAD to modify the plans and keep a record, and scale the ribs etc....
I'll probably build a semi-profile fuse - Having tanks and servos hanging out in the wind doesn't appeal to me, but neither does the weight and work involved in making a proper fuse. I don't see this plane living for a particularly long time.
If you're interested and CAD capable, I'll send you the drawing for comment when I get it pulled into shape.
