As it is, the fin will break on the first nose over because of the wood grain direction. Ask my how I know. |

If you can manage to get this thing straight, it will be the best flying 1/2A model you have ever seen. |

You need to do the ribs by the stack method. |

Laminate a layer of 1/64" plywood over both sides of the balsa fin using Gorilla Glue. Don't forget to clamp securely. It will be the only surviving part in the end. |
