Lowlander69,

Thanks for the comment. There really isn't any one best thing, maybe how it looks. I just completed a H.O.B. spacewalker that was all laser cut. When I started on the miniplane it felt like I was back in 1970 something, man. The worst thing about the kit, the 109 sticks in the box.

I'm not sure if I need to make any changes, we'll see after I fly her. The changes I did make was adding sheer webbing to the top and bottom wing, setting the top wing to a neg. 1 incidence, custom make "N" struts of airfoil alum. tubing, and setting the engine to a right 2 deg. thrust. The plans call for zero degrees on the engine, however with the four stroke swinging a larger prop I thought it be wise. Used washers so as to make adjustments.

I also re-designed the ailerons. The originals are hinged at the top of the trailing edge of the wing and leading edge of the aileron. I hinged them in the center and changed the leading edge of the aileron, more traditional "V" shaped. My friend's plane just didn't have enough roll. I talked to other people on RCuniverse and they said the same thing, not enough throw in the ailerons. I'll post flight results later.

Don't be discouraged about all the sticks. It actually went together rather quickly. Use an X-acto saw to make the cuts in the sticks. You will see what I mean when you get started. It's much faster, easier and acute to cut the sticks in the same spot they will fit in.

The hardest thing is to decide on the covering pattern. I know what colors, just cant decide on what pattern.
