REFLECTOR: empty w&b elite FG 173/lw

[Scott Derrick]

Something is definitely out of alignment. 
My plane is not what I would call 'good fit and finish.  That was obvious when I bought it.   But its fast.   Paint,  thin join lines, etc don't make a fast airplane.

Something in the rigging or alignment is slowing you down.
