I'm on the hunt and looking at another Skybolt project and have a couple of questions:


1) Should I build wing cradles for the wings or will they be OK resting on saw horses (well padded). If saw horses, how many would be suggested for the main wing? All wings are painted.


2) How is a builder to determine gross weight and acro weight? I thought that was determined by Mr Steen, but have since heard otherwise.


3) Finally, is there a software program whereby one can play around with color schemes?


thanks in advance and best regards,


Brad


Thought of another. Is there a list of things to ask/look for? I remember some discussions of a particular spar and how it should not be used.Edited by: SATCFI
