Hey guys,,,"Cublover" here. I helped cowboy with this project, I took it off for the first flight,,and flew it again last weekend...I'll bet I put it in a 7-g snap...so fast and unreal,,,this plane tracks so good it beat the hell out of the Edge540 I had...Cowboy did a great job putting this thing together,,but you got to admit,,,the wing ,when together, is HUGE!!!!!...just for a moment,,I've been building for many years...so think about this for a min...if you look at where the wing meets the fuse...it is already locked into place."trail'n edge to the fuse"..there is 2 wing dowls,,,and large I might add,,holding it to the fuse,,,,now with 2 bolts to suck it on the fuse...do you really think its going to go anywhere???If I had designed this plane,,I would have put a tube in it...I told cowboy,,that if this plane EVER has a mishap, I'd buy him a new one.....this plane is really well built. but it never hurts to make it the way it works for you....But now it fits in his truck,,and he dont need a trailer...hehehehehehehehe...he needs one for all the spare parts,,bolts,,glue,,and things that im sure ive never seen in that truck...but he gets it to the feild,,puts it together,,,and fly's the hell out of it...If someone gets a new one of these,,,before you glue the wing halfs together,,,just try it,,,you and a buddy grab each side and "try" to twist it off...it AINT gonna happen...lol...but if you have the room...by all means,,,glue away....you guys have a great day/night,,whatever time you get this...see ya sunday bud......

PS guys,,,,,,,,,Build em the way you fly em...if you land hard...put some "glass" on the gear block,,,if your worried about weight,,,,,get a bigger motor...hahahahahaha...ask cowboy.....89 inch plane..."Purple Haze",,,27 pds...flew for manyyyyyy years...
