Hi Stephen; Exacto, *Contacta, and PE,...Give me these answers for working PE.....

Isn't that Xacto?

'...1) When attaching the said control horn to the model, do you drill out a hole to thread the monofilament thru?

Yes, one in the wing for the horns to anchor in and one in the horn itself for the monofilament to pass through.

The one's I have don't seem to have any holes in them. I have found attempting to drill them with a pin vise to be less than satisfactory. How would you go about this?

You should use a motortool with an *80 guage bit, not a pin vise.

2) Thickening PE struts - How do you do it?

prep the surface as described and use either gel type super glue or real auto body filler putty (laquer based.)

3) What is the air speed of the typical African Swallow?

That would depend the relative humidity and atmospheric conditions. Also one must consider the age *of the African Swallow, its relative size and weight as compared to the thrust ratio of its wings. And finally the directional flow of the Jet stream during a given point of active flux. The equation would look something like

AS X Q/W + tr@W
