Hi John,

A few of them have been built here and they all seem to be slightly nose heave so you could shorten the nose a little if you like. It all depends on whether you use a light or heavy battery pack. It's also easier to add a little tail weight than nose weight so the nose length is no real problem. They do come out at around 44 oz. and fly real well at that weight. The wing is made with riblets like I-beam wings and is in fact more like the Tom Morris Millenium wing system. I make the wing on a simple Half-a-Jig (not 1/2A) instead of the blocks that Tom uses. It's a nice system and uses simple ribs that are easy to cut with one template, and uses very little balsa. I've attached a pic of the jig with a tapered wing in it. I build both wing halves in the jig and then join them afterwards in the same jig. Hope it makes sense to you.

Check you email inbox Keith, I want a set of plans for this plane.  I feel it is my sworn duty to test these models and make sure they are suitable for flying north of the equator.

Andy, you also have to trim for time zone...

Thank you Keith for you quick reply. I will have a go at building one before the spring and see how she goes. John
