RE: whats your thoughts on this
except for the twin rudders, what you have there is a Rivets...I think BobHH is kitting his version, I did a set of them but sold them all... check with Steve at select hobbies, he'd have one if Bob did kit it....its fast on a good .049...Rog Oh and if you make it fixed wing your gonna need a good sized hatch opening to get the servos and battery and rx and get it balanced the rivets is a 28 inch wingspan and about 20 inches long so its a tight fit and a critical balance.. the wing is the hatch on the rivets and its also designed for a tanked engine not a product engine

We talked here once awhile back about getting a kit made and everyone with the same engine...but if you guys are needing arf's and I get that too..there are lots of lecky planes out there that can be converted that would run on a .10 engine....someone is always converting some plane either glow to lecky or vice versa...Rog

RE: laminating sheet tail surfaces.
[quote]ORIGINAL: combatpigg The way to keep things flat is to not use water based glue for laminating!

I'm usually too busy using techniques that I know will get planes done to try out new ones.

RE: laminating sheet tail surfaces.
I have laminated 1/16 balsa to make 1/8th , you cut out the part you need evelator or whatever then use the spray glue or white if you have time for it to dry, and then cut and sand to the original piece size and as you say "voila"...have done this several times..Rog
