Thank you to CP and MJD for sticking up for the new guy. No its not a 200 mph bird but it was a challenge to build it as sleek and lite as possible. So CP you asked about the elev linkage, its a single pushrod just to the aft section of the fuse and splits (Y) to a couple of small music wire rods and 1/16th ply horns. The aileron servo lays on its side a drives a bell crank to keep the profile down to a min. The rx batt is 4 aaa cells split into to groups of two cells, 2 in front and 2 behind the elev servo to get the cg. The club I fly at thinks its pretty cool and has no complaint about the noise.
