Just the observation.
Well the real problem (other than my anibriation) is that dad gummed super glue. Yea it cures fast and is strong but it also bonds to the wax paper But really anibriation was the biggest issue :rotfl:

This one caught my eye because I'm also building Mr Mulligan from the Sig kit. The Dumas kit looks larger than the Sig kits 18" span, but quite similar otherwise. I love the stick and tissue models.
The dumas version is 30" wingspan. Ive built alot of sig kits in the past and they do a good job on RC planes, dont think Ive done any of their stick and tissue versions.

Oh and hell yes it will fly... eventually, probably right into a tree
