Default corsair setup

I built mine as per plans with a flex cable aileron setup, but didn't use supplied one; cut it in half and instaled, but when I put the inner one in, it was too short, because I spaced outer apart for servo! so I got a peice of small throttle flex cable and ran it through the outer sheath. worked fine. Preferred soldered ends of cable anyhow! Used continuous covering hinge with ultracoat.
about cheap radio gear; I used a hitec micro flight pack, was about 105.00, had everything I needed except a crystal, which was another 10 bucks. attatched photo. hobby people and tower both run 81's on sale from time to time, tower has them under hobbico name as cs-12 (and cs-12 gearsets are cheaper than 81 sets). -wildfred-
