1) Balsa thickness = 1/32 in unless noted. Prototype used Sig contest balsa (4-6lb) for 1/32 sheet.
2) Power = One 12-inch loop of 1/8 in rubber
3) Prop = 4 in plastic (from Guillows "Sleek Streak" or similar)
4) Horizontal stab 2 degrees negative incidence relative to wing
5) Center of gravity 18mm from leading edge of wing
6) Hinge control surfaces with copper wire and CA glue
7) Wood grain lengthwise with piece unless noted
8) Dihedral = 1 in each wingtip
9) red = part pattern to cut, blue = reference marks
