Default RE: The Tiger Tails????

She's looking good Pete, the canopy really tells the Tail!

Okay, I need somd advice; contemplating the servo install in the fuse and was going to go 1/8 ply with servo cut-outs (I've never done a balsa/carbon ply, is it fairly simple?). I don't want to do the old rail method, mainly because of the geometry of the pushrods. Also, thoughts on doing a pull-pull rudder versus single push-rod? I've never done a pull-pull set up and the Tails are somewhat tight back there. Planning on using Futaba S3152 digitals on the surfaces and micros on throttle and retracts (Rhoms). One more thing, thoughts on glassing the wing and tail versus film covering? She's fairly light, I'm not running the pipetunnel so that's a few oz's saved there too. I think she would withstand the minor bumps and bruises better glassed than withfilm though. Should be ready for cover by mid-Feb and might try to take her to AL in April. In any case she will be at Rusty's contest ready to rock! Thanks in advance guys.
