DH Venom rebuild

No secret Dave i just love building/repairing toy planes.If I had my time again I would get my pilots licence at an early age and build a full size in the garagel

Hi Pete,

is it just a question of twisting the wing from root to tip and then when it's re-sheeted the twist is locked in?

Yes Chris , with a little help from a digital incidence Meter so you put 2 degrees of twist.It dosent sound much but it is soooooo critical

It's surprising how flexible a built up wing is with only one side sheeted!

Sure is Jon, and don't forget it is glassed aswell

Dave/Pete,
Sorry to see the outcome of Saturday's flying. The performance issues of washin vs washout were all too evident, probably amplified by the usual jet problem of higher wing loading. Having had problems with yours Dave I thought I had better check my Venom wing. Mine appears to have about 1.25 degress washout on starboard wing and 1.5 degrees washout on port wing. I am not happy with the slight difference but at least it is going the right way. I have attached a couple of pics which show you the tail booms detachment as well.
