| So what should I build next, hmmm.... Let me grab some kibbles and bits and see what I can cobble up this time... Ok, we have some 1/8" balsa, BT60, 50, and 20 tubing, a coupler and an Estes nose cone... And some small stuff... |
| Lets cut up some BT20 sized motor mount tubing and see which one(s) would look the best... We got a pair of each: 9 inch, 6 inch and 3 inch long... |

| What if I'll cut some balsa like this ---> Root cord 13.375, sweep 13.75, tip 0 and semi-span 3.0 And with all four of them... |
| ...glued together with Titebond II yellow glue, create a slightly 'Bomarc' looking wing like this <--- And sand all the edges into a kinda sorta semi-airfoil for little less drag and lot sharper look... |
| Well, since I got started, let me cut two more pieces like these... |
| So lets shape it some more... ...Looks better, for now... |
| Or maybe I should redo them, or maybe use these somewhere else... |
| Since the wing looks good, lets epoxy on a pair of brass lugs... |
| And cut open the body tube to see whats inside... Dang, its empty ! |
| ...And glue them together. Nope, does not look right to me... |
| Well, in that case - lets stuff it with this BT50 mmt/stuffer tube combo... |
| And glue on a strip of 1/8" balsa to mount the wing onto... |
