I'm rebuilding my plane, so should I make the pieces I'm going to glue together overlap or no? As in, for example, the wings?

Re: Electric Wright Stuff B/C [Trial]
Like when we are gluing the wood pieces together, should the pieces overlap, or should they not?

Re: Electric Wright Stuff B/C [Trial]
If they do, it would make a much stronger joint. However, it is up to you to decide if you really need that much strength there. Most of the time, you'll be fine w/o the pieces overlapping.

Thanks, because I'm having a hard time trying to cover the frame when the pieces overlap.illusionist wrote:If they do, it would make a much stronger joint. However, it is up to you to decide if you really need that much strength there. Most of the time, you'll be fine w/o the pieces overlapping.

Re: Electric Wright Stuff B/C [Trial]
Yeah, that's true. For the wing, the overlap isn't necessary. Actually, the only place you might want overlap is when connecting the motor stick to the tailboom

Oh okay. Thanks. ^^
My plane broke 4 times in a row, I am now officially thrown into [maybe permanent] depression.

Re: Electric Wright Stuff B/C [Trial]
Does anyone know an average flight time for these planes? Top flight times? And are there anymore videos and tips for this event? Thanks for the help.

Re: Electric Wright Stuff B/C [Trial]
Could you estimate an average flight time that is reasonable for the top 10 places at Nats? I want to know so I have a set goal to get to.
