Col.,I only ask one thing,when you mail back the manual send a pic of your bird.The Balsa Nova is one of the best flying planes out there.Mine was lost in a mid-air.

Jeffo,
Will do the pic. I flew F-4's and A-10's

Jeffo: Thanks. The instruction manual arrived yesterday. I'll take good care of it. Also, thanks for the building tips. I already planned on using an OS 1.60 and have it shoehorned in with a fiberglass cowl. Too late to use spruce spars but will use the A.C. ply joiner. I did make the shorter wing. Would you please explain what you meant about not sheeting the entire wing? If the entire wing is sheeted it would make for a very heavy airplane, but I didn't really understand what you were saying. I didn't think about building up the ailerons, but will give it a shot.
Cheers,
Midget

My plans showed the entire wing sheeted & the center section glassed,with no joiners.The ARF had cap strips.-Jeffo

Midget

I thought your written instructions were to only sheet part of the way out, use cap strips for the remainder of the wing, use a a.c. grade ply for the joiner and not to glass. Did I miss something?
