Default RE: Building a SPAD Trainer

great job mclina!! i bet it flies better than expected! you might make that horizontal stabilizer a little wider and flex your ailerons upwards slightly.. when i did that to my spad it made it a completely different plane! it was overly touchy and i couldnt get it trimmed properly, almost like the cg was off, but when i shortened the aileron pushrods slightly to where the ailerons pointed up slightly it now flies like a dream!

your plane looks super! i hope you can get her hooked so y'all can have many happy hours together! if she gets hooked, keep her interested in planes as best as you can afford, thats the best way to keep her away from the boys is keeping her interested in something such as this where you can spend time together! a daugther needs her father close, when he is there with her everyday she isn't out looking for a male to be in her life cause she already has the most important one right there.. sorry some of those psychology classes i have been taking are shining through.. good luck with the plane!
