MA - I'm starting my Hog Bipe build after finishing my 4Star60. In preparation I'm reading through your thread and have a question for ya. You apparently didn't cut out (remove) the die cut discs from all of the wing ribs (post 21). Why not? I'm thinking that I want to have free air movement between the all of the rib bays during shrinking of the covering. Not commenting about weight savings - not an issue with me.
Btw, attached the finished 4Star covering - couldn't help myself
Because I was a knucklehead ...
I ended up popping those out too. Check out some of the covering photos on this page and you can see that I made a paper servo wire tube and also removed the punch outs from the wing ribs. The free air movement - especially when covering, is important IMO.
Oh, and nice 4*. I have seen many at the field but have never flown one. They always seem to fly so well.
