Tony, I recently finished building the flaps for my XS, and I too decided to correct the washout, since the jig blocks produced 0.9 degrees on one flap, and 1.6 degrees on the other. I suspect that t

Before you buy a large quantity of plastic wrap, you may want to experiment with different types. My partner and I use a slightly thicker and stiffer material (a little more like cellophane) for mos

Having just bonded on the fin cap, I am ready to install the rudder on my XS. Unfortunately, the location of the top hinge (as specified in the manual) aligns directly with the joggle between the cap

Dave, We have been reluctant to use oiled fasteners to hold joints while they set, because it seems difficult to clean the oil out afterwards, and we thought the filler would not stick well in the ho

Entirely correct, Fred. Common sources of very large losses like these are bad connections, bad connectors, and bad coax. Lossy materials (i.e., poor electrical conductors, like carbon fiber) in the

1.1 degrees is the correct figure for the XS. Added to the 1.4 degrees in the flaps (also shown variously as 1.0 or 1.4 in my manual), you get the advertised 2.5 degrees total washout for the wing.
