Craig, Jim, and all,
This one *doesn't* count toward the "Magic Number" since I'm updating it from 2006. I plan on building it with 3/32" balsa and "skinning" the fins with label paper. While the performance is slightly improved from using 1/8" balsa, *both* versions fly best using C6-3 (18mm) and E9-4 (24mm).
