That is correct Steve. The ribs were sent to me by a friend who had an extra set. I do not know where he had them cut. This is a kind of a "one of" build for me. I have built several fancherized Twisters in the past. When you blow the plans up to 112%, you end up with a 54 5/8" Wingspan. I am progressing slowly on the build and should have some more pictures in a couple of days.

Mike,
If my math is correct, 112% of 510 is about 640 sq in.

Have not done that math, so could be.

Using L.A.R engineering (Looks About Right) you could just add a rib bay to each wing, make the trailing edge 1/4" wider, do the fuselage stretch per the Fancher mods, and be about in the same place. I did that with a Twister based profile stunt/scale model and still flies well with a LA.40. I've gotten 520ish scores in stunt with it and first and second place trophies in profile scale with it.
Type at you later,

More like 571. Bout right for a LA46. With a stiff fuselage an F2 or F3 Twister should be a winner. I upsized mine too and it flew absolutely great on a Cobra 2826 which is just a little bit stronger than a LA46. It was Fancherized + 4" added to wingspan and 2" added to stab span.
