Me and two other guys have been flying them in RCCA competition for 2 years. I have sold several to other competitors. It is a proven design.
Thanks, Wayne

RE: air devil ssc combat question
Looked through my instruction booklet and have a question about the aileron attachment using something called "clear masking tape".
#1 what is clear masking tape? Similiar to packing tape (some call it monofilament tape) or what?
#2 using the above tape method, does the tape provide enough strength in the event the aircraft gains a good amount of speed.
#3 has anyone put a balsa trailing edge on the wing and then hinged it with CA hinges? Thanks Joe

The hinging material should be clear duct tape. It is like regular duct tape but is not as heavy. It is simler to the bi-directional which works great but is very expensive when compared to the duct tape. A balsa trailing edge would be great on the plane but it would add to the expense and the building time.
