Re: Climbing issues

Then, wind your rubber until it is near breaking and dewind to a torque value you know your plane can safely climb yet not stall at. Other things you could try are potentially lig...

Re: Boomilever B/C

Another noob question! Is there a way to avoid having to bend the tension members so that they can be closer together where they attach to the j-hook?
