Awesome plane!!!!!! But I prefer building and designing my own planes (I'm a scratchbuilder). I would suggest coveringit 1-2 times more. It will add better looks (you won't see inside the plane), and the tissue strength will increase. But nice job!!! You know how to do small planes, now make a big one!!! I build my own planes by my own designs out of scratch. Maybe, if you don't want to work on drawing plans of your own plane idea, buy a separate plan and make a plane by it. You can probably ask me to make you a plane you want. FREE. Just wait until the end of March. Wait until the end of March becasue I am currently working on a very hard airplane plan. It's an electric turbofan plane. I took the basic looks from the F-16C. I plan on making a plan of my commercial jet in Fall, 2007.

It looks absolutely fine scigs30, and just how a free flight rubber powered model should look. It's meant to look like that Daniel - if it was covered in several layers of tissue it would be too heavy to fly! Frankly, if it was my model I'd be offended by your comments.

I wasn't meaning to offend. I knew the model wil be too heavy to lift itself with rubber powered motor having several layers of tissue covering. just said I don't like free flight/u-control models.
