I have currently built 3 BOT electrics. I have written a very detailed, illustrated construction article. It is written in Microsoft Publisher and I dont know how to send it by e mail. I can burn a CD for you. Please send a name and address. No charge

PS Upon re-reading your post it appears that perhaps you are using the wooden fuselage. All of my models used the fiberglass fuselage. This kit is so cheap that I really didn't want to spend time building, as the modifications took long enough.

My Supra, from Kennedy Composites, continues to be my favorite e-glider. But the Radian (original model) gets more air time because it is just sooooo convenient and it flies pretty nicely. Won't compete with the Supra at a contest level, but for a causal afternoon of sport soaring, it is hard to bet the Radian.
