It does stay in trim much better than less rigid models.Scienceguyorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457833204658259656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897183486294807522.post-49069473026580749422015-04-17T11:18:26.872-07:002015-04-17T11:18:26.872-07:00I have a Blue Ridge Special, bought and built many...I have a Blue Ridge Special, bought and built many years ago, back when Blue Ridge Models was located in Ashiville, NC. It weighs 11.0 grams without rubber motor, and this after I added a wing saddle to keep the wing from rocking on the fuselage. Does the "Union Jack" construction add to or detract from the aerodynamics (?) - do not know, but I can say for sure that it makes the wing rigid and warp resistant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593590963157329806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897183486294807522.post-14161452352879971972014-01-10T17:04:33.876-08:002014-01-10T17:04:33.876-08:00Jeff email me at scienceguy33@gmail.com
