Default RE: CMP 120 Zero ARF Build thread

I don't wan to get anyone mad here,I just panicked when I saw the nearly 18lbs ready to fly. So to each his own, I was just really hoping I could get it near 12 or on the high side 13lbs, we shall see. But that was a wake up call for me, I'm going with ultra light weight covering and CA hinges!

As you did with yours ZERO-322, I got some Hitec HS-77BB Low Profile servo's for the elevator and rudder. Mounted on the sides of the fuse, they will hide well under the pilots console. For pushrods I went with Sullivan #585 White/Black Carbon Fiber so that I could use all those little holes in the fuselage formers. I also added a wire rod with one control lever for the elevator. The hole for the former in the rudder post was a perfect match. I am keeping everything in front of the CG as much as possible. I got lots of flying in today, so I did not finish the installation, I still have to hook up the steering cables for the tail wheel. I also received my steel powder nose weight, so I will be casting a dummy radial as nose weight, let's hope I don't need 3lbs!
