Steve Meyer of Soar!   He stepped up when the other SOAR teammates were beaten down to rally the Chi-town crew!   Really put his game thumb on. I believe he flew an Extreme. Gordy

You wouldn't put it on the bias on the spar, you would use prepreg on the spar. The bias is for the wing. Jon Stone wrote: Jeff, Depends if the author desires strengthening the spar for launch, or making the wing torsionally stiff.He didn't say. Either way, I'd avoid the carbon mat, as

Phil flew a Sharon to lead all day long. He flew about 5 levels higher than he should be capable of at this stage but HE flew awesome.   He got caught in the end in some major smeg to move him wa down into crushed hell.   Steve Siebenaler flew a Vtail Pike, and always chose his own air.  H

The pre-sheeted Alcyone has tow strips about a quarter inch wide that run out behind the spar -- they're perfectly placed to cut into them when you cut pockets for servos (rather than relying on the original cable and torque rod setup). The wing should be strong enough for any conceivable laun
