Thanks fot the pointers.

You aren't kidding. That LE carving was no picknic. After about 4 hours with a razor-plane, T-block and several beverages (to keep me motivated ), I finaly got something that looks like a leading edge. The sheeting I got was not bad at all. I only threw away one sheet. It had a big knot in it. Anyway, the wings are almost done. Except for the tips and servos. I think I will do the optional setup. This makes the wing look kind of like a bat-wing.

I am skipping on to the fusalage. I am waiting for my flightpack from ServoCity before I put the wing together. I did notice how cheesy the nose-wheel mount is. I am going to go with some kind of nut and bolt setup here. What were they thinking?

I have another question. Did you use the supplied pushrods? How are they working out? They seem usable to me. Except for the FasLinks and nylon clevises. They have to go. :thumbdown
