Hello Terence

Was looking through some plans on Outer Zone, and came across a very interesting (and I daresay challenging!) subject for a scratch build

The Graupner Mosquito 2.5 m span of 1975, with some modern electronics (BLDC motor, micro servos etc)

https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=8460

Might work with a foam wing, with a D Tube construction - 1.5 mm balsa sheeting from LE to spar, balsa LE & TE, and some spars either Carbon Fibre or Bamboo, or a conventional balsa built-up wing

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on a wing joiner arrangement, The one shown in the plans is just 3+3" long and about 3/16" (5 mm) dia. Unspecified material. Lots of doubts there

TIA

Hi Sanjay -- sorry it has taken so long to reply!  Question: can we run this in our 'Letters to the Editor' section in the February issue? It's a great question and I think it will likely get more responses if we include it in the upcoming issue.  Please confirm this is OK with you...thanks...~TCG

Thanks so much Terence! Please do post it, and I look forward to some great and insightful responses

Great to see a magazine dedicated to RC Soaring!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, it is very much appreciated!  Best regards...~TCG
