Not a criticism but the joints on the centerline of the stabilizer leading and trailing edges gave me pause. I'd use a one-piece TE and scarf joint on the LE in the interest of keeping everything straight, warp free, strong and light. Ditto on the vertical fin. I use a one-piece continuous rudder post running from top to bottom. When the airplane flips over, the rudder (and its attachment to the fuse) takes a beating.

I noticed you built up the part behind the canopy, usally made of paper. do you fly it yet? I was converting 500series to RC, but just not ready. i mean im ready, but the industrry that pruduces the all in 1 boards needs a yr., or two to get a more reliable sytem. I'm going FF with 900 series, And will convert larger 400, or even 300 series to rc from now on. I can just tell by the design that 900 series are gonna FF better. I have been learning so much across the board lately, but I will find out for sure soon about different weights of different grades of balsa when I reconstruct my Jav fuse, and am rebuilding my Cub303 I crashed bad last summer. she will be airworthy tomorrow, and so will my Edge. But I"'m not flying Edge Till I get some experience, but anyway I was amazed to find that a solid 3/16" balsa vert stab, made with very carefully selected wood, weighed the same give or take a gram or two ,from the built up version originally http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x60 ... 4d.jpgmade with the kit wood.Image
