Default RE: Turbinator-E

There were some other deviations I forgot to mention. The plans call for a 3/32 sq balsa spar on the leading edge of the wing, and top and bottom of the main spar. I installed .157 carbon fiber tube that is available locally. I had a carbon fiber tube from a helicopter that I failed to fly. It just happened to be the right size and length. I don't remember what helicopter it came from.

The graphics were pretty simple. I just used Microsoft Word, and went into Word Art. A friend of mine turned me on to a sheet of Avery Full Sheet Clear Labels. Simple and clean seemed a better solution for the graphics.
