UPDATE DEC 2025\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Some plans are dimensioned different then drawn,\u00a0 in particular watch for the height above board info when joining wing panels. These angles are critical when you need your plane to turn, the vertical stab is huge, I would recommend 12 deg plus as a tip panel angle, and another degree or 2 at the center Panel join.<\/p>\n

Caution, please mod your wings and add more Dihedral at the center panel join, and poly angle at the tip Panel Join.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This, above picture,looks a little different then what I had just a couple days ago with my Foxbat Build, on a hunch and with some input from a fellow flier I have modded the tip joiners, see results below.<\/p>\n

Will it fly better I will never know:)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Its 3000 miles from me<\/p>\n

From the looks though, It should turn better !<\/p>\n

Tip height above board as built from kit supplied joiners’<\/p><\/div>\n

The wing joiners supplied in the kit did not allow me to build the wing to the dimensions provided on the drawing. Lesson learned. Note : Tip joiners where modified after plane was finished, center panel joiner left as built.<\/p><\/div>\n
