phakur,
If your interested on page 54 I posted instructions and pictures, how I assembled the wiring using a "Y' for a 4 servo setup. Using this method you end up one wire to plug in. Fortunately the whole assembled plan fit in my mini van so I never had to disassemble the wings.
Here the link to page 54 http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_17...54/key_/tm.htm.

There has been a lot of conversation about 2 or 4 servos. After studying all the posts and talking with some club members I decide to go with 4 servos for two reasons. I feel 4 will give you a more positive action and I didn't what to deal with adjustments you have to make with the push rods. I suppose others will disagree with my reasons but I am comfortable with my decision. Of course it is not scale but I'm more interesting in just flying.

Just a note make sure you check the incidence while assembling the wings and cabanas to the fus. The instructions didn't say anything about the incidence and I never owned a bi plane before so I learned the hard way. For my plane I found that setting the bottom wing, upper wing and tail wing all parallel ("0") to each other worked best.

One more thing…if you have never flown a bi plane I suggest you have an experienced pilot take up for the maiden…I'm glad I did.
Hope this helps!
