Ever get so engrossed in your kit building that you lose track of which is the front and which is the back? No? Well, you're smarter than me, then, because that's what I did!
I was building happily on my Squirrel Works Red Baron, and was about to start the first round of paint, when I realized that I'd build the MMT backwards. That is, the nose cone was glued in the front of the glider, but the launch lug was on the wrong end, and the center wings and spar were attached to the wrong end. So instead of sticking out in front of the center wings, the MMT was hanging behind center wings and spar. Not stable for flight!
Well, I tried to remove the wings and from the MMT, but unfortunately, they were too firmly attached to the MMT, and the MMT shredded. Okay, so build a new MMT, and reglue. That's where I am now, but boy do I feel stoopid!
