Ace/Thundertiger Staudacher 60
Anybody care to comment on the quality of this arf ? It looks really great in ads and I am wondering about the quality of the plywood used at stress points like the firewall and landing gear mount, the integrity of glue joints and structure in general, and overall finish appearance with respect to the covering.
I am finishing the 82" Piper Cub and had to do a little rework and gluing here and there. Some joints in the fuselage were missaligned and had little or no glue but that has been fixed and I'm sure it will fly ok. However, with the G forces that the Staudacher will be subjected to I'd be a little leary if I encountered the same problems , especially in and around the wing center section.
