Ultrajohn
I did several mods to my Long John. I chopped 1 inch off of the nose to make it balance with my .91fs. I used ultrastik 60 dural landing gear. I added 2 more servo bays in the wing for flaps & crow. I increased the size of all control surfaces by at least 2 inches. The plane flys very well & will hover nicely. The crow (airbrake) feature is a hoot.
