Tail and fin are not sheeted. Although timber included laser cut spars they were no good as once lasersed they were 1/16" too narrow. |

Plans are downloaded when bought and are very well drawn. Some good construction ideas. the wings for instance include the ailerons when build and are then removed once sheeted. |

Kit arrived damaged although I did reveive a discount from TDM. Timber was same width as box therefore once a little pressure was put on the sides of the boxes everything split in two! |

This is my next build. It's a TDM Models Polikarpov I16 31" span. Not sure on the colour scheme although i am heading towards this one although this is the only picture I can find relating to it. |

I believe poppy is correct. What is on my Rat is also not a cannon but a starting lug. When this model was inspected by a gent who flew a Rat, he was impressed that I included the starting lug. |
