I forgot to mention one other matter. The prop diameter is listed in neither the INAV #125 plans nor the AMA NFFS 2001 Nats rules for the event. The 10" prop diameter is called out in the INAV #126 rules listing. This is an important dimension that should be noted.

The rudder is specifically named in the forword view so it was unclear to me, at the time, if the rudder was also a vertical stab and covered under the stab callout. That is why I brought up that point. I will take your side of this issue anytime.

The article specifically calls out that the wing spars are double tapered. This double taper point is easy to overlook (I did so). Second, the plan shows no offset on the wing (both sides have equal length). This may present some setup challenges to the non-experts among us.

I think that beginners building this plane for the USIC event could do with some guidance in that area as I know I would have liked some.
