Makes me feel better eh!


What do yall think of the paint scheme? I'm thinking about doing a blue/white scallop pattern on top of the wing.


I also took the wing to my LHS and showed it to the owner. He says(and I trust this man, he's had that shop just in that store for 65 years or so......) that the gap is not a big deal, and that I should fill it with a piece of 1/16th inch balsa and stop worrying . He also said if I'm still concerned about it to go ahead and use the heavier cloth.....


I also wanted opinions on control linkage setup. He is recomending not using any kind of Z-bend on these 4-40 rods, but rather screw style connectors(ie. the rod passes through a brass block and a screw is tightend to retain the rod in it.)

Just curious what y'all think.
