VERY disappointed, and left wing is a loose fit to the fuselage too. The shoestring was a piece of junk. The cowl just did not fit. The wings were held on by spring clips, totaly in violation of the NMPRA rule book at the time. Solution? Change the rules to appease the manufacturer. I threw the spr...

Get rid of the spring clips. Install blind nuts to the wing root ribs. The screws will pull the wing tight to the fuselage.

Go to RC Groups Page 51, report 762. I posted pictures of the screw installation.

I could email them to you.

Any issue with the Cowl? Can't get this one to fit no matter what. Thanks again, Regarding the Shoestring. I was foolish enough to purchase one as soon as they became available. The cowl fit was awful. It did not fit. The front former it fits over had to be sanded lower to allow the cowl slide on a...
