- tapered tail boom is made of carbon fiber/glass composite.
- wing cores are precision cut from white polystyrene foam, and the black poplar veneer is
bonded to the foam with aircraft industry grade epoxy in high pressure molds for perfect airfoil fidelity and a warp-free wing.
- vertical stabilizer with hinged rudder and horizontal stabilizer with hinged elevator are made from balsa and is fully laminated with light weight fiber glass cloth for durability and stiffness.
