Hey Sean,

I used carbon honeycomb for formers, tank tray and servo mounts in my Xareltoo and it's plenty strong enough. I put ply hard points in for screws etc.

With the top wing 0 and the bottom +.7 and I presume the stab at 0, it will be interesting to see how it flys and if the stab needs to be adjusted.

Used to use 7/8" for monos years ago, but wouldn't go any smaller than that.

That's a thin wing section. Is there much flex in it?

Yes, you need to fly every round as though it is a keeper.

So is it in FAI that 2 rounds are dropped or the other classes? Or all classes?

We have 4 classes; Sportsman, Advanced, Expert ( which is the FAI Advanced Schedule) and FAI-F3A.

Chip copped a bit of flak over how close the wings are together when he first designed the Finals Touch. But it hasn't proved to be as disastrous as some said it would be.

I haven't seen any evidence of this being the case? If anything, the absence of struts would make it easier to keep the wings apart. The amount of wing separation would mainly depend on fuselage...
