<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: x-small">i'm not thinking TOO much about it, but it would be nice to just plug in and fly. i do like the sound and power of the nitro motors; especially the 4-strokes. i just wish a couple things with the nitro. not cleaning up the oil snot, not worrying about what kind of paint to use (no gun to shoot good paint), fuel going bad from not getting used (limited flyingweather in Washington), i could probably think of a couple more things if i sat here long enough. but mostly, i just wanted to post that the shed is to a "plane construction" point of organization, and i will be knocking a little out ata time, now, versus on the island in the kitchen. i got threatened with my life the last time. but anyhoo, let the fun begin. i was thinking about using wing strut material for the cabanes and N-struts instead of the wires and balsa sticks with the shaping and soldering and all that jazz. what do you guys think about that? would you think it wouldn't be strong enough with the gear type straps screwed to the ends and then into the wood blocks in the wings? i REALLY don't want the top wing seperating in flight. i'm just trying to come up with alternate ways of doing it. i should probably just stick with the plans. i just, SERIOUSLY hate soldering, and i want the struts and cabanes to blend in nicely with the fuse and wings. i don't want ugly points and the connections. i think i'm going to do up something like in the other thread with the "boot" looking stuff, at least with the gear. (thanks tospeed51J for the idea). also, cross braces between the gear struts, to counter some of the flex of the wire gear. but i gotta run and get working on some stuff with it. here's the shed ready enough to go. </span></span>
