“I beefed up the wing. I covered the leading edge with 1/16 balsa. Beefed up the landing gear mount, covered all the fuselage with 1/32″ balsa. Covered the cockpit area with 1/32″ plywood. Mounted a brushed 400 direct drive & Bec with 2200 ma li poly 7.4 volt. Have not flown it so far but it has plenty of zip so I don’t expect any problems.” – Mitchell Underwood
