ok, here goes.
i made a few changes. i don't like to mess with other's designs, as it's kind of rude in my opinion. but then, w.f. has a rep for tough, light, good flying planes so... had to w.f. it a little.
first, i set the balsa stripper the width of the tube. a lot easier to build that way. however, that makes the precut parts too thin. it solves a problem, though. by gluing a cross grain 1/16 sheet to parts, not only are they the right thickness, but the crossgrain makes the pieces split resistant.
i refuse to compromise my wing strength by splitting it for fuse. seen too many stix blow off a wing. my usual wing huggers worked out great on this plane because mount size meant only a couple 1/4 thick blocks filled in from huggers to mount stringers.
slotted mount instead of cutting tube. why not? tube was that length. i didn't shim tail post, will taper fuse to that size at rear. I inset fin into fuse for my usual propwash offset, like full scale planes. makes it fly straight upright and inverted harrier. i moved some stick locations to stress points and to support canopy frame better. also note i put 2 pc. 3/32 into canopy notch, and another underneath to make it sturdier. i do like the notch in precut piece, holds frame and provides a grab area. and the fuse is framed!
Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
No matter how wrong they are.
