Not too shabby for three bolts and two control connections per wing! (assuming this is pre-D model 1-26) And, what, three bolts and the pushrod for the tail?

wow 2.5 minutes is impressive. Thats NASCAR pit crew style analysis on getting the job done.

Speaking of NASCAR will the LeMonns rules give the CD the option to call a NASCAR day where if post flight analysis of your trace shows any complete 360 to the right you get a 1000 point penalty?
