H9 P-51 Wing joint...fiberglass it?
Hi all, I am getting ready to join the wing halves and wonder how many of you used a strip of fiberglass to strengthen the joint. I have used this procedure on all previous models, but wonder if it is worth the hassle. Any tips on installing the retract servo are also appreciated. (does it have to be mounted 1/4" high to keep from binding?) Thanks for your help,
Greg

I think it is a good idea to fiberglass the wing joint on the ARF's. I just cannot get used to a lit ply wing jointer as the only means to keep your wings from flapping. I'm just finishing a GP Ryan and I glassed the center section of the wing......cheap insurance.
