Hi Chris,
Nice to see the updates to your cracking Goth build,
a great insight into modern light weight construction, superb workmanship!
I have a question please - re the inverted U shaped wire jib attachment/sheet leads -
are they literally epoxied into the balsa decking and that's it job done,
or is there more to the wire U shapes we cannot see in the pix or extra reinforcement etc ?
I appreciate your thinking, going for the lightest possible option,
but there appears at first glance, to be a great deal riding on a simple wire into balsa glued joint ??
I am considering building a modern competitive IOM from plans myself,
guessing Goth is the latest plan to become available to the general public.
By nature a very slow builder,
I need to start a build with the most up to date design possible,
to have a fighting chance of a competitive model when eventually finished,
not a nicely planked antique!
many thanks, keep up the interesting posts.
Regards Paul
