A few corrections to the plans and modifications to improve flight characteristics.
-Wing fairing was oversized in V 3.1
-Motor pod now has down-thrust built in.
-Adjusted fuselage to add some incidence to the wing.
-Narrowed forward wing spar for a nicer profile when folding over the wing.
-Added hatch marks to denote removed paper and foam
-Shifted elevator hinge location for a stronger connection
-Added wing struts

The wing struts are a work in progress. The prototype flew well without them, but became uncontrollable when they were added. I've included them for anyone who may want to try them, but for now my advice is to leave them off.
Split the markings PDF into two pages for easier printing.
Just posting an updated set of plans correcting a few errors in the wing drawings.
-Cutouts for aileron servos were backwards.
-Moved the wing base forward to correct wing location on fuselage.
-Widened the aileron cutout in the lower surface for better clearance.
-Added notches in the trailing edge for aileron control horn clearance.
