Thanks Dave.

Saved almost a pound with the cut outs and the wings and ailerons are still stiff, better than most ARFs.

Weight a wing from my 92 inch Raven, came in at 27.4 oz. Laid a servo on a Vertigo wing and it came in at 19.1 oz. Not as good as our master builder here but I'm happy.

Yes Dave but that's before covering.

I take it I must cut the canopy to fit before cutting out the shape in the canopy deck, should be fun!

And now I am going to run into a problem, previous builder left the rudder stab to large at the trailing edge. So my turtle deck has to change shape a bit toward the end of the fuse.

How much of the turtle deck is to be cut off at the front angle? I can not make it out from Badans instructions, is it 440mm or 410mm. I don't want to screw this up now!!

But this. Do you remember how much to trim?

Hey Rick! LOL - No, I don’t remember. I have trouble remembering what I ate for dinner last night

Do whatever you feel is right and stick to your guns on it... it will never be a mistake

All good, I wrote Dan and he got back to me. It is 144mm. My dinner last night was good!

Some body give that Trevor dude a Gibbs slap!! He said these would be easy!!

I made them as one piece and left them a touch wide, when I was happy with the shape I carefully cut them in half. It worked.
