I'm not sure what the LEX is im not to well up on the terminology
eg, on your last picture, it shows your build have LEX installed... thats the "fin" stretching from front of cockpit rear to wing on the sides. :)

about lex necessary, or not... it depends. you will get a bigger wingarea, and more longitudinal axis/pitch stability though.

Agree very much a talented craftsman or builder. How would the servos and pushrods work on the model airplane? It looks like this is made of wood. So very heavy. How much pounds to this gas engine? 45 ibs. ?
