RE: 108

Doug,

For the flap servos, install them both the same way round ( i.e. lay them both on the left or right hand side), not mirror image as you would for the ailerons, that way they move in the...

RE: Me-108 Question...

Doug,

Yes, use two Y leads for flaps and ailerons, not sure I understand the need for a servo reverser? (except if you can't do this with your tx).

I can confirm that 4 channel designs don't fly well on rudder only, but can be flown without rudder (although you will likely need to use this to keep it straight on the ground).

108

I have not weighed mine, but I havn't added any lead so what I have is what was in the box!

I think a 80 would be ok, faster than scale for sure but it won't be a rocket ship.

UK G-10 suppliers

No, G10 is made using heat or pressure (or Both?) so it is much stronger than you will get by laying up layers of cloth yourself.
