Default RE: 1/4th Scale Flair Tiger Moth Project

Hi all,

Ibeen messing around with rc models for over 50 years now, I have a precedent stamp which I built in 1995 and still flys well on a super tigre 2500 with petrol conversion.
I thought my building days were over due to lack of income, but my wife came back on day from the local council skip/dump with what she said was a 'big box of balsa wood'!

This 'Big box' was anUNTOUCHED Flair 1/4 scale Tiger Moth, the kit was complete with the exception of the cowl and one wheel which mising, all 16 inst and building instructions
and plans unopened theall hardware bags present and in tact.. A few of the stringers had hada visit from a puppy by thelook of the teeth marks.

I have the model readyfor covering, a build which I thoroughly enjoyed and can only praise Flair for theirvery detailed a and complete building info.

I have a few points I hope some one can assist with.

Any easy way of connecting and accesing wing servo leads inside fusulage?

I have used the cowl from the Stampe to make a mold for the cowl front am I correct in saying this is similar in profile.

The spin strakes have been well chewed (as have all the abs parts} are these essential for good flight chars. or arey the only a scale detail?

Will a super tigre with say an 17x10 do for power?


Cheers
