from Larry Bell
Rob, You built your airplane exactly like I'm trying to do. I'm on the
wings and since you also used Styrofoam and I assume hotwire, how did you
get the middle ribs for a hotwire guide. From your comment I assume you
didn't do flaps. I have my flaps built and like the idea. I am using
control rods so have no hardware on the rear spar.
Thanks, Larry
