RC Taildraggin! Thank you Sir, really appreciate your ongoing support 😀
Good engineering plans to strengthen the fire wall mounting. This will provide a much longer life for the model (as long as you don't actually dumb thumb it into the ground). Normal flying and the occasional less than perfect landing should be fine.

I like banding wings on but it's a pain replacing them occasionally, bolts are forever but they don't give much lol

The bands I get here, dont last long and keep snapping, so I have to use lots on my trainer! They are easy though, just don't trust them! maybe I need better bands!
Nice job Mark I’ve been enjoying watching the build. What brand of nose gear did you use? Looks similar to Fults

Hi, not really sure, I ordered from a hobby shop in Bangkok a while back when I was living in Thailand, sorry I can't be more helpful. It is probably not a product I would use again due to the increased weight, when compaired to single leg
I think it is better for the upper sheeting to be cross line.

Yes cross sheeting is certainly better and stronger, but I went with the plans in this instance, as the fuselage is quite a strong construction with quite a few cross formers, and the longtitudinal sheeting was quicker.
How many millimeters thick is the wood beside the fuselage?
