I agree with most of that Alan, except the wash-out. If Sky wants to fly the model as a fun-fly, he'll need the same handling qualities both upright and inverted. Wash-out will become wash-in when upside down and will lead to unexpected wing drop. As it's a low-aspect ratio wing, if built flat there shouldn't be a significant tip stall problem, so there's no real need for wash-out on this type of model.

Therefore, I suggest you build the wings and tail flat Sky.

A fair comment, but ours were never inverted, except in looping manouveres, and our wings were parralel, so go Andys way, but i think it will flick in tight manoveres

well i have just about done the wings and they are the same size . next is the ailerons .

some more bits done today, body started and ailerons done.

neat work sky.
looks quite a simple construction as well.

nice one sir.

well done very little as worked called, so i have started to sand the edges and get ready for covering.

Coming along nicely

looking mighty fine now sky.

bet it flies well.

well done a little more today, started to set wings to body. so then i can start to do tops of wings and ailerons.

well not much done to funfly at moment. i have 2 others to get ready to fly just need to transfer parts to start to build.

Looking good A4. Carnt beleive how delicate it looks though. I take it there is LE sheeting and cap strips to fit now

yes i have not put it on yet
