    Hmmmmmmm?....... Now I'm really wondering whether to stick to the original plans for the elevator and ailerons. My plan for this model is for it to be aerobatic, but I'm not interested in 3D and all that prophanging stuff. I'd like it to ba a long lasting fun model with forgiving characteristics. I've found that wings with this style fat section will slow down nicely when you ease off the coals and wont get away from me, a pilot with somewhat limited experience. Not sure I want a model that will flutter it's surfaces; that sounds scary! Cheers Keith B

    Did a bit of wing-age today! The laser cutting is very good and I managed to find some nice straight spars.

    I will be using mylar hinges and I'm toying with changing the method of construction for the tail feathers and ailerons. I'm not a fan of the stick construction method. I always break those in the hangar or getting suff in and out the car. So, I might just do flat balsa surfaces with cross grain ends and nice big drilled holes for lightness.

    Sorted out most of the fuse today and gave it a nice thick "Trebler". Also fitted a strong Ply Block for my Dural undercart! Didn't come out too bad....

    I have my Short kit and after a trip to Balsa Cabin I also have the strip wood for the wing. Also I have decided to do the mod that you did to lengthen the nose for the electric version. I'm going with a nice round 35mm (Not 32mm like you lot).... I figured 35mm will give me a bit more wiggle room for battery size and CG.

    Just finished my own Blink and will maiden very soon. I love the little plank/tailess models and have a Willy Nillies "Der Flugel" and I just killed an AWD Dammit!

    You have inspired me and so I just ordered the plan and the wood pack from Sarik Hobbies. I've had a few "Stick" type models and this looks like great fun. Wish me luck! Keith B

    Maybe a sock on your covering iron would do the trick? I know a few pwople who go to the kids clothing section in the supermarket and just buy a pack of white socks that fit nicely on a covering iron.

    Wow! Everything just looks so beautifully made and finished I clearly need a lot more building practice! Nice one!

    Yes I ditched the torque rods and went flat wing servos.

    I did struggle with the wing bolt location

    Currently building an electric Crescent Bullet from the Cloud Models kit. My building skills are a bit rusty, so it's taking me a while, but I am really enjoying the build. I just made the carved balsa nose cone. and the fuselage is nearing completion. KB
