RE: MK Wild Beat
If i were you I'd take what you've got and use it to make a mould for some glass well tubes. honestly, for something like that, if it weighs any more than 5-6 grams, its overkill.

RE: MK Wild Beat
No offense but weight is not a huge issue with me. I build strictly for pleasure and looks, rarely fly and don't compete. Most don't paint or at least don't paint their wings due to weight gain but I paint everything I build. Again, more interested in the pleasure of the final results than a bit of weight gain.

RE: MK Wild Beat
David, I understand your point, i guess it's just hard for me coming from building my own competition aircraft for years and having everything go past a set of scales before it was allowed onto the plane.
As for painting the wings, You're not the only one. I'm never going to have another plastic plane if I can help it! Done right, a painted wing isn't that much heavier.
Carry on MacDuff!

RE: MK Wild Beat
This is a really good looking build.
Anyone have an idea where Ican get my hands on a set of MKretracts like these? What's the model number? They do look more solid than the SS or SP's.

The retracts came with the kit in this instance. Try Frequent Flyer's Wild Beat build thread, I believe he had retracts modified to match the originals.

I make the complete kits , clear canopy,, fiberglass cowl and other parts, autocad plans, all the laser cut balsa and ply parts, and all the sheeting, blocks, sticks, needed to build the plane.
