Welcome András!

Now to the fuselage modification. The Hummer wing has significantly less chord than the stock flat bottomed S-Tee wing. Doug said S-Tees tend to be tail heavy anyway so I should mount the Hummer wing at the BACK of the S-Tee wing saddle to help with balance. Therefore, here are my fuse mods for the ...

Here you go!

a new Prop Jet from WillyNillies.com

If it survives maiden/Willy Wing Contest verification flight, I'll add a pilot and some decals. I'm too close to the weight limit to add them before the verification flight for contest entry. Thank you to all who contributed knowledge to make this build a reality - especially Ed Larsen who, in addit...

Wildfire

https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=1756. This is exactly what I had in mine for the Sky Tiger and Falcon wings - except that the Wildfire's lower wing is both shorter AND has less chord than the upper.

Back to the wings. Only slight additional mods. For both, I drilled 1/4 inch "lightening" holes in the ailerons/trailing edges using a Forstner bit in a drill press to get a clean cut in the soft balsa. For the upper wing, the ailerons are glued into place as a fixed trailing edge. I also ...

Now the hard part - alignment. Grid-marked cutting mat and calibrated eyeballs, this is your moment! First, we add some 9/16th balsa inside the fuselage where the anchor/alignment holes will go. Next, using my angle gauge, I mark the lines for the rear strut to match the arbitrary angle set for the ...

I decided to use the horizontal pieces of the S-Tee cabane assembly as the forward verticals on my Littlest BiStik since they already had holes drilled AND happened to be more or less exactly the required length Cabanes5.jpg After marking where the holes needed to be in the fuselage, I added some ex...

When I ordered the Littlest Stik kit with an extra wing, I told Doug my plans for it and he graciously included a set of S-Tee cabanes. After playing around with those for a bit, I realized that I would have to recreate the saddle pieces for the upper wing anyway so I set the S-Tee parts aside and d...
