Goggles and camera cost me $70. Plus l can record what l see.

The DAGGER pitch problem appears 2 have been sorted. I have changed the wing shape from asymmetrical ....a very flat bottom...to roughly symetrical.... have only had one flight so far due to weather conditions ....fingers crossed..

That's going to be a bit of an unorthodox design Chris.

Best corfute glue  i have found after numerous tests.....contact for the wings,very hot glue gun  for the rest....sand a bit with 120 grit non clog sandpaper....wipe down with acetone ,let it dry ,and it's ready to go...hot glue is not convenient on the wings because it sets too quickly....in my latest build (THE DAGGER) I used the wooden metre stick from Office Works....takes the place of the recommended  American yard stick...cost around $7.....seems to be very strong so finger crossed. The last Dagger clapped its hands ,i was using a very light aluminum spar,the good news was that  quite  a few of the corflute parts survived ,tail feathers,ailerons ect and all other accessories  survived a very hard nose in....made the rebuild fairly easy.

Hi Kennyglide, my boy is hassling me to help him glue his wing together. I remember asking you once about what you glue the spar (or is it spars with the latest wing?) in with, but I can't remember what you said. Was it epoxy or be really fast with the glue gun? 

Also, with your latest symmetrical wing, did you use the same plan measurements or tweak it to keep top and bottom measurements the same?
