Does the Karat have have any wing stagger. Most designs seem to have some positive stagger but looking at the interplane strut arrangement on the Karat it may have no stagger or possibly negative stagger. While positive stagger may improve lift efficiency this doesn’t make sense with an aircraft that spends half it’s time inverted where positive then becomes negative stagger. I guess the best arrangement would be zero stagger. Maybe aerodynamically stagger doesn’t matter that much and then it just becomes a style issue, where a little positive stagger “looks nice” when the model is sitting on the ground and it looks right.

Isaac, silly question. How do you clean the fuse after wet sanding with dish washer soup?

Thanks.

My understanding is that positive stagger has the top wing forward of the bottom and negative the top is behind the bottom. With no stagger the top and bottom wing LE would be inline/square to each other with reference to the fuselage datum.

Hello Isaac.

I am enjoying reading through all of your build threads and they are teaching me so much. I have a couple of questions:

1. what type / brand of paints do you use?
2. What is the purpose of the Patifix self-adhesive?

thanks, Bill
