You can't just let the tail drag in the water either. The wings must be kept from touching. Someone posted recently about some cheap foam floats being available. Install them like two main gear... Hmmm, come to think of it the parents in law have a small attached lake, now I want to do it too! |

Also, if you buy an EZ* from Amazon, you will still have to buy a Brushless motor and ESC and LiPo somewhere else to just have a plane that is similar to the Sky Surfer. That will drive up the total cost to twice the cost of the EZ* and then some. You are not comparing apples to apples. AJ |

2. No. I don't glue them specifically because I want them to flex and "share" the load when it gets extreme. AJ |

AJ, I work with Carbon Fiber composites engineers where carbon fiber parts are designed and made all day long. You really want to glue the two tubes together. That's what gives them the strength of the added wall thickness. Bill |

Thanks again to everybody for their comments getting my Bixler going. Took her out to the field tonight, and she flies great...
