>Good stuff, thanks Thayer.

No problem. I was all worried about the wing and motor pylon on my 
Micro Drake until I started to think about it more rationally. The 
original plan was to notch the wing for the pylon, so it could carry 
down into the fuselage and anchor everywhere. Once I notched the 
wing, it started to feel so floppy I gave up that idea. I cut the 
wing apart, trimmed the roots for a full LE to TE butt joint, and 
glued it to the top of the fuselage which is less than 1/2 an inch 
wide at that point. The pylon is simply a piece of thick Zepron edge 
glued on top of the wing.
