Default Kombat Kid Flying Wing Build

Hello everyone,

I had some time this afternoon to throw one of these short kits together. The thread that started it all can be found here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9303432/tm.htm

The original thought was that I would simply draw a straight line for the main spar on a piece of paper, then mark out the rib spacing and center rib locations - just to prove that a kit could be built without any type of plans.

Then, when I pinned down the main spar (using a straight edge as a guide) it covered my meticulously placed tick marks! So, I just put the marks on the spar itself... which I should have done in the first place! (The rib spacing on the 32" long spar is 2.5", except in the center, where the ribs are spaced the width of the engine box.)
