Here's my 17th and latest Willy Nillies build, a J3 Cub. Emax 1407 w/APC 6x3SF prop, Skywalker 15A ESC, 4x Emax 4201 servos, and a 2s/450mah battery. AUW is exactly 222g. Balances perfectly on the spar with no additional weight fore or aft.

I am putting a hatch on the bottom in addition to the canopy hatch. My bottom hatch will be held in place by a small screw because I don't anticipate needing to open it very often. My canopy hatch is secured by magnet. I do not think the bottom hatch weakens the fuselage. Hopefully I am not mistaken ...

Ok, here you go:
1. Flat airfoil is the fastest. Top airfoil/flat bottom is slightly less fast. Fully symmetrical wing is least fast (but still fast by design.)
2. Yes, bottom hatch. That is how I'm building mine.
3. This plane is designed for electric power. Putting a glow engine will probably ...

Rudder really isn't necessary, according to Doug (Mr. WillyNillies). Much like the GLH and the new Spee-Dee Sport, the P-Jay is designed to be a speed demon. Although you CAN set it up with rudder control if you wish, aileron/elevator are enough for this type of speedster. I had originally intended ...

Some multi-motor RC designs use differential thrust to service the yaw axis in place of an active rudder. If you've ever wondered how to set that up, here's a good article on the subject.

and some relevant suggestions ...

My original plan was to have a single centerline aileron servo and use hidden control rods - much like Ed Larsen did on his aileron mod of a WN Honker Bipe. However, the central doubled rib of the Duster wing made that impractical without serious modification of the wing joint which could have led ...

Here's my latest build, a Willy Nillies Wee Duster modified to have ailerons. Details of the aileron modification can be found in the Wee Duster forum elsewhere on this site.
