Default RE: Super Twister

Framing is done, and control system is in. Its about ready to cover now. Weight is a few ounces higher than normal, but there's a lot of extra plywood and epoxy in there to handle the ST G.40. I'm probably going to cover it with some FasCal 700.

I also put in some extra safety cabling tying the engine to the bellcrank, and another loop around one of the leadouts tying the controls to the engine in case the bellcrank bolt shears or the bellcrank tears out. None of that should happen, but at the speeds I expect this thing to hit...a little paranoia isn't a bad thing.
