This plane is designed to carry a camera mounted far

forward on the nose. If you dont intend to carry a camera make

sure to find a good battery location that will still allow the plane to balance on the CG.

Wings have about 3-4 degrees of

dihedral for added stability.

Popcicle sticks glued here to

support the battery tray.

12 inch BBQ skewers glued here to support the wings.

Then cover with packing tape for smooth air flow.

11 inch BBQ skewers glued to fuselage and wing

to support wings. Its best to drill holes in the wings

and fuselage to make a really strong joint.

Popcicle sticks glued on the bottom to protect the bottom of

the fuselage during landings.

3 motor mount pieces glued here to support the

motor. Then glue popcicle sticks to the rear facing

motor mount piece so that the motor mount screws

have something to grab into.

Tail boom supports get glued on here.
