Lighten up, Chris... It's called humor. Don't make me use a smiley!

No gliders, no aerobatic aircrafts have ever used a tube, so I believe , as good as tubes are, they are not necessarily the best way to go.

Sorry but I think you are wrong about full size. I think the most of Jim Bede planes has tube spar BD4 etc.:smile-new:

I wasn't trying to be rude just trying to be funny myself and I'm sorry to Roger if I offended him. I have been impressed with everything he has built and dont want to take anything away from him.

I've really enjoyed this build so far. Very nice craftsmanship I wish I was as skilled.

Carry on with the build, sir... impressive work! Nice to see scale construction used from the inside out. This is a TRUE scale model. :encouragement:

using black drain pipe as a mock up for the landing gear, so far it looks right, also with an 8" wheel
