I bought an old kit from the LHS, just now getting around to building a piece at a time, I decided to make the 95" wing a two piece system using the plywood dihedral brace between the two spars and a pocket method...I took out all the dihedral, it is at 0 degrees and added seperate servos for each ailleron...Got the tail surfaces built, all I lack is the fuse, which I am in the process of now...I am thinking about mounting the elevator and rudder servo's in the tail instead of a tray with long pushrods...Also will make a custom bombay built into the bottom of the fuse just behind the landing gear...Anybody got any suggestions or complement I would love to hear from you???Oh and I am up for any suggestions for a covering scheme...

Fun plane. You will like the servos in the tail. I am not sure about using the spar is you are using a ply wing rod. Make sure it is strong enough. The last one I did like that had metal laminated in between 4 layers of ply to make it strong, and it was a smaller wing. Make sure it is strong enough. I think I would almost do carbon, or 2 spring steel wing rods, one the front spar, one on the back.

What would you do, wrap carbon fiber around the two spars surrounding the pocket I made??? Thats an idea, that would make it even stronger...Thanks

I have a flat wing for my Telemaster, with 7 deg. of sweep in it. Great plane to fly and have fun with. I had a bomb bay in my first ST, and it was also lots of fun. the second one I mad with provisions for attaching an external bomb bay, which can be exchanged for a camera pod, etc.
