Lee,
It looks great. How are the motor plates attached to the wing? I have been dragging my feet on building/re-building scale ships for Dixie. This has given me just the shot in the arm I need to get motivated and building. I am really looking forward to seeing it fly.

Lou, you should know about the motor mounts. It`s just like the Cobra/Falcon motor mount.The spar is 3/16 bass, beefed up with 1/8 ply on both sides out past the motor mounts. Very simple to build. I used a set of Roy`s cores, just cut down a little.

Thanks Scott. If it survives Dixie, it`ll be in Muncie. Maybe with a second one.

The wing on this one is covered with one piece of white vinyl with pressure sensitive adhesive on the back, much like monocoat trim sheets. The whole plane is painted with silver and black rustoleum which I found out is not fuel proof. I went back and sprayed a coat of automotive clear over the whole thing to fuel proof it. Larry has built one and covered the wing in rip stop nylon using 3M 77 glue and then painting. The wings seem really easy to cover being so small, unlike the Open B wings. The whole plane can be built in just a few hours.
