Default PVC for combat fuselage

You have got to be kidding me! I live in a podunk town and found coroplast and plastic gutter pipe, and you live in Atlanta! WOW Lowes or Home Depot doesn't cary it? What about some lumber yards? I got mine at a local Ace hardware store.

On a more somber note I built a Spad and promptly crashed it after flying it friday. Crashed today due to bumping the switch on the hand launch. Wide open pealed slowly to the right for about 100 or so yards and blamo. Luckly the ground is just mud because of all the rain. It looks like I will have to build a new wing but every thing except the motor mounts survived. The fuse looks like it hasn't even been crashed! I plan on putting the switch on the top behind the wing on all I build in the future.

I built mine with a 48 inch wing span, regular USA gutter pipe and TT pro 46 engine. These things fly great!
