Title: Flexible leadouts vs Balsa wing tip slot.
Post by: kevin king on April 08, 2022, 12:56:21 AM

Ive never used flexible lead outs before,  so I am  assuming i will need plywood top and bottom of the adjustable Lead out slot? Please enlighten me.

Kevin,
for the quality of model you build, yes.

Mine are lucky to last 6 months so I haven't seen the need. Ha.

1/64" birch ply usually does the trick. On some designs you can put the line slider out in the tip, cuts down on the problem.
