the wing tips and the wing are from a single piece of coro.....bent at right angle using a heat gun. Its finished with a piece of foam sanded to shape and taped on the other side.....quite strong !

The spars are hard wood.....no CF was used in building this plane. An early morning pic while waiting for the fog to clear.

@ Manoj.....no plans, just use the CG calc. If you wish to try, I can post the specs.....and would feel quite flattered if you build and fly one of your own.

@ Gusty Sir....just having way too much fun  :salute:

@ Sanjay Sir....thanks ! since you use a lot of coro, you'd be able to imagine the end result....and its fairly easy to build correctly - the first time.
