Me, Larry Renger, the fat finger syndrome and the M.I.T. wing

[Mike Griffin]

Larry, were your ears burning yesterday while Eric and I were having this discussion about me having to order another M.I.T. wing?  That wing hates me. I think it is a plot against us.

I found it way easier to build than his original design.

Specifically, what is the problem? 

[Mike Griffin]

Mostly my fat fingers.   The concept is great.  I also did not realize that I had an outdated building guide but mostly the problem was with my fat fingers.  One of the few wing structures you can build on a table top without a jig.

Ron Burn did the original design. It was done that way so 12-14 year olds who did not have the use of a wing jig could build the wing. As we all know 12-14 year olds have thin fingers and they do not come with any building experience!

After many discussions with messrs Griffin and Renger I redesigned the wing so that old fat fingered individuals and MIT grads could also build the wing.

Thank you Mr. Rule for helping those of us who are fingerly challenged.
