I recently found an old Shadow kit on eBay. Wound up going for more than expected, but I got it . I'm planning to build it in a couple weeks. I've built a shadow 15 years ago, and helped my father on his Optima before that. Both fly well, but low and have fin damage issues. After seeing how poorly my epoxy built executioner flew, I'm concerned with weight.
I'm planning to use white glue, and wrap a Kevlar shock cord to the MMT. Other than that I'm pretty open to lightweight strengthening suggestions. Thanks!
