I just bought a GWS Pico Stick kit today and as I went to look at the fuse I noticed it to be straight at a pin but there is a slight bow towards the front of the fuse. Now I have placed it in water and but heavy bags of sugar on it to let dry and see if that would correct the bow but nothing. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to fix it or any other materials that could work as a fuselage? Thanks!

The bow in the fuse should have little effect on performance. The wing folded on my second one and it fell 50 feet into blacktop. An hour and a new gearbox later I had it flying again. The fuselage was bent three different directions and still it flew straight. A little tip for the wings: the clevises and mounting plates that come with all the extra plastic parts come in very useful. you will need a couple bamboo skewers to connect them but it saves the effort of putting a spar in the wing. Before putting any rubber bands across the wing lay a strip of packing tape along the length of the leading edge, and the middle 6" of the trailing edge. I have built 2 of these planes in the past 3 years and have ordered my third.
