Default Which plane next?

Hubber, ya beat me to it! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

yeah, definitely a step up from the 4 star..

My buddy lengthend the rudder by about an inch, more rudder control.

Get longer 'J' hooks, as they can be quite short, and difficult to get the rubber band on. (remove the rubber band with an X-acto knife!!)

Some have 'heightened' the fuse by about an inch, go give better 'knife edge' flights.

Beef up the tail wheel joining point, prone to breaking the rudder.

Ditch the flying wires.

Make sure your root rib is EXACTLY on the plan / as per the plan. You don't want any gaps or angles with this rib.

Some people make 'foam' wing seats (cushions between the wing root and the fuse, made from the thin packing poly foam cut to shape)

When you're good with the plane, you'll be wishing for windy days. One club mate flies his backwards, and does vertical landings. (see our site, videos in the gallery for his flights)

It'll build in a week-end!
