Been busy with custom kits for the las week, so no new pics on the Eyelash, but while in CAD anyway, been working on scaling a few planes.

This has brought up a few questions, I'd like to see what you folks think:

1)  Do I need to do built up wings also, or just stay with foam? I think thses will open to a much wider builder/flyer than just the pattern fliers. 

2)  What about STABS?  Is it worth the weight penalty & higher cost to have foam airfoil stabs at this size, if the original had them?  Seems to me that at the smaller size, balsa sheet stabs would be fine, and a bit lighter. I don't want to do 2 version of each.

3)  Scaling....   Should I pick a percentage and scale that way, or should I scale by wingspan?  I would think to stay around 40" wingspan would be best, to keep power plant needs as close as possible, the same way they were scaled to the Ace wings. The wingspans are pretty close on most of these, the fuse is what varies the most between designs..   Scaling by wing span would keep thesmaller birds in the same power plant range. What do you all think?

Should be able to get some more eyelash stuff done this weekend, we'll see.....  Have a good weekend.
