    Those are cool! How do you like those dubro control horns? Have you used them before? I have been looking at them, but they just seem like that "long" arm from the horn to the control rod seems like it could bend or move. Thoughts?

    Snoopy: I am looking to use prepreg and aramid core panels. I have several 4'x10' sheets of 11/16" and 3/8" e-glass and a couple 4x8 of 1/2" carbon panels. I used them to build my race boats back in the day. Essentially, I am looking to replace the entire fuse with the prepreg panel. The...

    Thanks! Optimistically, 8.5 lbs. Realistically, closer to 9. Really looking forward to getting this in the air! Have some ideas on construction methods of the fuse to potentially shave a pound. Want to fly it for a bit first though!

    After a long break, got some more done. Only the right side of the fuse left to cover. Still need to shrink the left side covering.
