Here's my rendition of the Nobler ARF. I strengthened the nose and then tested it LL~

Pictures are too big....

But at least you can see them,,, I made some 1/16 ply gussets and some tri stock to beef things up a little.
I also put some balsa between the mount bearers. Stiffened the front up immeasurably..

My Launch stooge.... A Brodak part of course.. This is something you could easily make yourself but I was in Paul's Model supply in Fargo and he had one on the wall. So I said hmmm thats easy too. So I took a fully Edge banded cabinet shelf and screwed er down. I figured this way it was easy to wipe off and will stay clean for the most part.

Hey better to crash the ARF than one you build from scratch or kit !! The fuselage IS weak but the wing is sturdy, after I crashed mine beyond repair I used the wing in a profile project I made..
