I've started receiving goodies.

I have recieved the landing gear, and the short kit. (Thank-you Laser-Design).

I verified with Model Airplane News that they got my order for the plans. (They shipped them on the 21st). While I had them on the phone, I bought a 2-year subscription, and the back-issue with the build article.

I'm just waiting on the motor and the plans to show up on my doorstep.

I'm thinking of doing a build thread. But... Should I post it here? Over in the "Kits" forum? In the scratch built forum? I'm not sure which is the best forum to put the thread.


Another question. The wing joint tube has proven allusive. Fleet farm had 3/8" SOLID aliminum in 3 foot length. But not tubing. LHS didn't have 3/8" AL. But they did have brass. The local hardware store (admittedly a very small one) didn't have any aluminum at all.

So... I'm thinking Carbon Fiber. For all you enginerring nuts out there.. What size carbon fiber rod would be equivelant in strength to the 3/8" aluminum tubing?

Thanks in advance...
