Not including shaklets due to difficulty of construction...
Took inspiration from many build logs at RCG
They all were in depron...
I have never worked with depron till now, so I built it with coro

Make one using 1/2 inch wood dowels, I used the same for my Glidiator's wings.

I tried using the beading strips but the glue doesn't stick satisfactorily ( or I don't clamp properly...)
I nailed one to another but? He next moment there is a crack on one of the strips...

Improvised the wing... dihedral brace is strong now... used araldite..
The problem was improper clamping and lack of patience..Now I made the fuse skeleton but I am unhappy with it...

Can I use pvc gutterpipe ( round big pipe) for the fuse...it will be heavier but more crash resistant
Any comments on this?...
It will also be a new spad model
