So true, Dave!
I just get nervous about construction techniques when building something bigger than I've ever built! I want to make sure I use the right materials in the proper sizes.
Foam wings are a great idea, how do you install the wing tubes in the foam though?
I've never done this before!
The wing panels are 50", so I could do them 48" with my bow, and add wood built-up wingtips.
A couple of the wing panels are pretty good, so I would only have to make a couple more.
It would sure be cheaper than $600 cdn for 2 new panels!
Keep the ideas coming, and thanks!
