Hi,

I've just started building a PICA T28 kit, and I'm horrified at how this kit is constructed. The wing ribs are "light ply" and the whole construction is incredibly heavy. Balsa spars, no webs, all the weight in the wrong places. The wing skins are 3/32 which I hink is too thick for a 60 size model. My 1/3 scale extra (GP) has only 1/16 skins for a 100" wing span.

I'm used to pattern planes and sport planes, this is my first scale effort.

Is this standard for all PICA kits? How do they fly being so heavy?

Why why why? I thought PICA had a good reputation.
