More like fiberglass or carbon layed over the balsa TE.

More or less - I have the earlier version that has the tapered nose to fit in a glider. Strong 3s and a 10x8 made the ALPS sing on the climb. I did use the carbon sock mode over the whole fuse. When it was done, I could have used the fuse as a golf club My wing folded at the aileron pocket. Again, smooooooth when fast.

Dang you AROS! Shipping is only $13....and I'm out of fun funds this month

Have fun with it - man, I hate it when I spend it all at once....

Yikes, looks like wing strengthening is in order after all...

To be fair, I was in a screaming high speed pass from a 600+ foot dive at 15 feet off the deck. I had called "low-pass" - but not loud enough. Another flyer called low pass also - but we were both over the centerline . He was North to South and I was South to North. As it was, I was safely below his flight level, but I cranked full up elevator to avoid him and to get some distance from the flightline. His little foamy sailed on without moving an inch, and I blew the wing at the pocket. Better safe than liable.

Give it heck, Aros.

Well the picture is coming in clearer...

Are there any more videos on YouTube besides the two I found?
