You sounds on track. I replaced all hardware with Dubro giant scale stuff, just like I've done on all my GP 1/4 scale aerobats and the like....includes the hinges.

This plane is a good...

Hi all.

To the new fellow. The thread has good ideas. I second rcnutstoo on his notes. I've had to beef up the top "skylight"balsa. Replaced the wing strut tabs at the fuse with a solid...

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Hi guys.

Opening the door to get to switches for me is a hassle. It's just a hard angle with the plane on the ground. In addition, the door and hinges have not proven to be very robust.

Thanks for the info.

So let me get this straight.. I don't need the Sullivan $50 rig with the big panel to mount and all. You've had success just going to the glow plug with 1.5 VDC...

Good luck Joe. I re-seal my stars every now and then. Has not been a big problem.
Please keep us posted on the fix you propose.
I think this is a sturdy, well flying bird.

Anyone compared the Santich plans with the Jim Pepino plans? The Santich have no flap area and are (to my semi-trained eye) not very detailed as to servo mounting, engine mounting. On the...
