I can’t see the download on my phone, but it’s no doubt because Open is on four circles, Advanced is on three. Group A has only Open, the others have both.
Ahh!

Amazon Prime days are here is there any ideas about what us modelers could get that we wouldn't normally bother with cause of shipping costs?

Why does group "A" only have 8?

I had it both ways.  I originally built it w/o flaps then added them later.  I was what today would be a low-end advanced flier and the only difference I saw was in the corners.  Not tighter just better and not really worth the effort.  Control throw per Dan is good but I would not try and get 354.  350 should be enough.  LL~

Aw, he fixed it.  Now nobody knows what I am talking about, which is most of the time.  H^^

  If the airplane is straight and balanced correctly, there is no need for anything more than 30 to 35 degrees, and most of that would never get used, but may help you psychologically. Search out threads on the Magician and I think you will find about a 50-50 consensus on whether to install flaps on it airplane or not.  Leaving them off will simplify construction and flight trimming. I have an example of each version of the kit and if I ever get around to building one, I will leave them off. For the average "Joe Bellcrank" it will fly very well for them without flaps. If I would change anything, I would make the stab/elevators thicker, just because 1/8" looks too darn flimsy!!

Howard's got it right. The hotrod ST's of that era had bevelled bypass ports and identical timing as the straight cut exhaust ports. Which reminds me about shipping the one out to Kev. Lots happening and not feeling all that good.  :-[  Steve
