Weight is going to be a big issue for me. I don't know what your rules are over there in Canada, but when we get to 20Kg we have to get involved with the CAA for special exemption. Its not a big pain but worth trying to avoid!

Glenn's models built in the USA so far have both tipped over the 20K mark and neither of them had split wings so I have to get creative as you are doing.

I know that saving on the lozenge will save a good amount of weight. The fuselage and tail feathers will be covered in full size synthetic materials which are lighter and stronger than Solartex.

What glue fixing are you using to secure the line?
