Just a thought on WIFI 'confusion'... Would it make sense to have a WiFi AP in your plane (run an infrastructure network vs ad-hoc), if you have lots of WIFI stuff bouncing around, as opposed to using ad-hoc WiFi? That might help get some of the RF chaos under control... On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 2

The WAFs are properly aligned with the spar on both sides. Also, everything is already glassed. Much easier to keep the spar hole pattern unchanged, vs cut up and redo the stub wings in order to redrill the spars. On Jan 27, 2016 1:08 AM, "Phillip Matheson via KRnet" wrote: > Am I missing somet

The original wings are questionable, with big spar 'bumps' in the airfoils (looks like foam and glass 'settled' while curing), some large delam/unwetted-glass spots, and a nice thick coat of housepaint over it all... I can fix them, but its almost bad enough to scrap everything but the spars thems
