I say again, there is too much movement and it
doesn't work.?? Others have tried.?
Please do us a favor and remove the name X-Air from the plane
because it looks terrible in the
media when they report of crashes.? Please i
am being serious.

The plastic
tip ends will be replaced with metal ends that will be
fixed to both the leading and trailing tubes, AND the
rib tubes. The fabric will then be rib stitched to the
ribs.

Please dont do
this it doesnt work....? its
dangerous and not what the plane was
designed for.? The complete wing
structure? requires that the ribs
actually go into pockets inside
the fabric covering to stop them
from twisting sideways. Without
this there is absolutely no
strength and no way to maintain
the profile. If you try covering
in anything other than the factory
system you have no way of
supporting these ribs correctly
and if they all fall over there
goes your aerofoil shape and of
course you will crash to the
ground. There is really no way of
supporting the ribs correctly
without starting to drill holes in
the leading edge and the trailing
edge and that is something you
don't want to do and aircraft like
the X-Air have a lot more movement
and flexibility in the airframe
than does a more conventional
aircraft covered with different
fabrics. Basically, you are
wasting your time and you are
turning your aircraft into a death
trap at best.

Why I am going to
recover my X-Air with the
Randolph system. I will be
SURE how it is done, it will
last FAR longer, and be more
affordable.

A little
update. I
spoke to soon
when ivsaid he
is flying down
to help me put
them on. Its
to the point
now he won't
even answer my
emails. For
the past 2
months he has
been telling
me his runway
wasent dry
enought.
