"Word has it that the Wasp had a reputation of being direct competition for the Comet Zipper, however it is way easier to build. The Wasp fuselage and pylon are just about idiot-proof to build! It is done in such a way where it's difficult to build it anything but straight. I built the entire airplane using Tight-Bond rather than CA type glue. I feel that Carpenters white glue gives the best glue joints and as strange as it sounds the overall building time is about the same as using instant curing (CA) adhesives." - Dan Rhinehart






"As you can see I made the fuselage square and it is electric powered. I covered the wings with Monokote. Had to add a bunch of weight in the nose. I would recommend extending the nose a couple of inches to get the CG close. Either that or move the wing pylon back. With the long tail moment it takes alot of lead to get the CG forward." - Bill Milliron
