wow how things have changed,
foam board and a hot glue gun sure beat all the hours spend cutting sanding and glueing balsa.
Comments / questions about the FT explorer.
1. I am flying it with the stronger motor pack (the prop that comes with the C pack is a 10"... i had to get another one)
2. I also had to dredge up the epoxy for the firewall. the CA glue just snapped on the vibrations (when I had put a piec of foam board to see the direction of the spin)
3. my main problem now, after day 1 of flying is that the the main dihedral is wobbly, looks like i need to do some surgery to insert reinforcements, whats is the SOTA for this?, i was thinking of making a 1/4 inch incision that is 1/2 an inch deep and 5-6 inches wide and to glue some wooden spar in it.
