Phil,

outstanding, very nicely done. The retracts are a nice touch and will give her that groove when doing low passes!

Just a couple of thoughts if I may; I trust you are going with 4 3114's for controls? Those HS55's can be a little spongy. I actually don't use Futaba servos much but I believe the 3114's are not bad. Spektrum has recently come out with a nice selection of servos especially for these little ones. They have analog and digital versions of each model for the most part - much like HiTec does. The HS-65HB's are another story - fast and strong but a tad pricey compared to the 3114's.

What servo will you use for retracts? I'd use a MG servo. Actually Frank over on the RCG thread pointed me in a good direction for MG micro retract servos. I have misplaced the web bookmark unfortunately.

Good job on the wheel wells. You might like to try using flat paint in your next build - it strikes me as a better look if black or grey rather than the surrounding base color (white in your case).

Do take some pics of your radio and gear installation when you finish things up - always interesting to see.

Looking forward to the maiden report!

David.

P.S. What happened to your GP right strut? Do they sell replacements?
