QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Are you Building a Lite version of this plane ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The tow hook setup and mount as I understand it is feeble at best. I will grab some pictures of all the parts . The hook seems a smaller diamer then what I have seen on other RES model<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I see the tip panel (C) spar is tapered and capped top and bottom with cf strips 3mm x .5mm , what lumber is used in between the strips ? I am looked for some 3 mm material and it seems to be missing<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

UPDATE This material is on the sheets with the Fuselage Parts woohoo<\/p>\n

          Standard BUIld<\/strong><\/p>\n

          It seems all three wing segments fo<\/b>r the standard are built with d tube ply sheet top and bottom, this assumption made from the ribs profile, CF strip quantity and ply sheet I have.\u00a0 Somewhat different from the Version in the Build thread on rcnetwork, where the c segment has a cf rod leading edge

          Parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \u00a01 x 1 mm spruce for tail feather trailing edges, extra screws, nuts , magnets also some music wire which I believe is use for the CF pushrod ends, where it gets overlapped and bent to suite the control horns for and aft

          Hardware Package<\/strong><\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          the STD Antares has the longer CF wing rod, thus also longer alu tubes for the wing panel A<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          there is some talk, JS, that perhaps there may be some premature alu tube wear especially when using the steel wing rod with the Antares STD , brass could be substituted<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Balsa 10 x 3 mm and 10 x 5 mm I think the 5mm is for the LE of all 3 panels though I am not sure really , the 10 x 3 well any ones guess, any ideas ?<\/p>\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n

          <\/p>\n

          ply, maybe .5 mm thick, Perhaps trailing edge for all 3 wing panels , There are two different widths, wider at top other at bottom based on what I see with the ribs , there are 6 of each width HuuM:)<\/p>\n

          more ply wood, sheet one and two have marks at each end , and If cut perhaps are what is used for the D Box sheeting, Sheet 3 anybodies guess , and 4 appears to be panel a sheeting at root rib. Mysteries, mysteries<\/p>\n
