Neil    That is how we get new interest in indoor     Well done !!
 
I say keep it simple  use square stock and condenser paper.  That is what we used when S/O first came in to exsistence.  I always discovered students picked up the building real fast. It was rubber winding and trimming that needed alot more practice.

Yesterday I was flying a DD MK-III in the school gym at end of class,
nice consistent flights with several 20 ft circles, Checking the flying
surfaces, I found about 1/8" washin on left, same washout on right wing
panel, teacher commented about it, I told him it helped to keep the
wings level while turning.

So, anyhow, any thoughts as to how I can design that in for kid builds
with a "one stick" single surface wing. I'm thinking maybe a bit of
triangular stock glued to the wing ??

Kind neat, a young lady came up, asked how we controlled it, we said it
'flew by itself", she stayed, helped wind and launch. Had about 20
teens watching while we played.
