There was little to prevent the wires from rotating, maybe I was supposed to put the wires on the other side of the spar. I think the best fix is to sandwich with plywood. |

It seems like it wanted to roll right and left aileron would hardly turn/roll it left at all, I'll have to make sure the wing is level. |

| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Flying | 26-Oct-08 17:35 |  | | Views : 1012 | | I have never hand launched so I was a little slow in getting on the elevator and she smacked into the ground before I could pull up. The force of the "landing" was enough to knock the landing gear wire loose so I'll have to rework them. |
