Default Two Servos on a GP Spacewalker Elevator ??

Paul,
The gap does not go all the way across the saddle. The widest part is about 1/4" to 3/8" which decreases to almost nothing about 2/3 the way of the saddle to the wing bolts. I also added metal tubes for the wing dowels and the last 1/3 rear of the wing is still against the fuse sides. The main support for the wing will still be the dowels and the wing bolts.

I did cut a piece of balsa to fill the gap and after a lot of sanding and gluing it in place, I used spackle to fill in what gap was left. I just have to cut and iron a piece of monokote on her now to finish her up along with a new roll of saddle tape.

I might put a fillet on it too, but I don't know yet if I want to do the extra work. Plus I would have to get a can of paint to finish it. Don't feel like spending the extra money if I don't have too.

This kit has been a real pain since day one. Between problems with the wing saddle (besides this ballooning problem), the wheel pants and a few other things, this was and is a real nightmare.

I just hope she flies as good as everyone says and like on G2. Then I will be happy. I guess this one must have been built on a Monday or Friday. I do not know if I will ever buy a GP kit again. This is the second GP project that has not gone well. The first was the .25 size Slowpoke. Enough said about that.
