When i sheet the bottom, i'll make sure the wing panel is held flat against the board whilst the glue is drying and hope for the best.  

Hi Hugh,   No i didnt install the sheer webbing before sheeting the top(i only followed the instructions, but i dont think i should have now.)   Mac

Nope, it was completely dry.

Hi Snaba,   I did check my spars twice before commencing the build and they were straight, i am using spruce for my spars but that shouldn't have any effect on the build. Maybe or hopefully the panel will straighten out when i sheet the other side, like you mentioned but i'll see if it does. I await your pictures of your flap construction.

hi,   I think i've got a problem with the wings and that is, after i sheeted the the top and took the wing off the board i found that the wing panel bowed slightly up and i wondered if it could be because only one side is sheeted, incidently both wing panels bowed about the same degree. Has anyone come across a similar predicament?

hello,   can anybody tell me why the retracts bearers extend beyond W3?   thanks  

Guess wot! i got myself saito 72 the other day  for the spit, i shall let you guys/gals know how i get on but im a slow builder, bear with with me.

Hello,   I haven't started my project due to work and studying commitments but im going to use saito 72 and air retracts on mine. I cant comment on your experience but i will bear in mind when i do get to this stage,i have measured my retracts against the plan and it would appear mine should clear top and bottom skins, but  i shall let you know how i get on.    I've been struggling to get obechi strip around where i live so opted for spruce, i could mail order for them but i dont think it would be cost effective. However im also thinking of making lightening holes in some of the ribs.

Im thinking of saito 72 for this project now, as all the threads so for have been positive on the saito, no one has mentioned OS as been preferrable,  i know they sound great as one of our club member has got one in his ultimate but his engine is a 1.20.

i do not want to exceed the design weight but i am thinking of cutting in some lightening holes in the ribs and maybe in some formers. At the moment i have an OS 65 LA, and thinking do i really want a fourstroke which i know will sound brillant, but which size and make would you guy/gals suggest, i've been drooling over OS, SC, Saito but there are'nt any 60 size fourstroke about. Personally, if i do go for fourstroke i think a '70', but im not sure this is where you guys/gals come in. In Tony's article it is suggested that some nose weight will be needed so im also thinking of making a scale exhaust system and hopefully serve as both.

hi to everyone,   im complementing building this plane soon and have bought the cnc pack, im intending to install air retracts somehow, does anybody know which engine is best suited to it?   any thoughts...........

hello everyone,   i have just purchased a 9ch module for my jr 10x with two receivers, ar9000 and ar7000 and im hoping to use the ar9000 in the raptor 30 and ar7000 in Wot 4, but i would like to know if there is a way of separating the two models on the transmitter without loosing the settings. How can i switch between the two models?   Has anybody got any ideas?   macsood
