Tim;

Are you going to post pictures of your build on here?

L.
To be honest with everyone, I've been dealing with the recent passing of my mother-in-law and had not had a chance to even un-roll the plans. As soon as the family issue settles I'll get the digital camera charged up and will start sharing with everyone.

Probably will take some hits on this one, but I've decided to go with the GMS 1.20 2-stroke to power the bird. The OS engines produce less power and the quality for the price just doesn't seem to be there anymore. Putting a 1.60 in the nose would make it a bear to fly and bugger to slow down to land. Will stay with the fixed tail dragger configuration (like Larry my fun budget is limited) and plan to cover in 3 color Monocote with the primary color being yellow with the trim colors being blue and orange. Plan to tint the canopy blue.

Question for everyone.... What futaba/hitec servos do folks use in their US1000's?
