Default RE: Nothin' Extra Build?

I think the plane is set up and ready to test. I sealed the hinge gaps, balanced it, mounted the switch/charge jack, secured tank/receiver and set up radio for dual rates, expo and all that stuff. I also added flaps on the toggle switch (Futaba 6ex) with some up elevator mixed together with them. The motor already has some run time. I chose a 12/4 prop to begin with. The plane is now hanging from the rafters. I will give it one more good inspection and then look for a decent weather day to take it out and get it trimmed out. We have had very nice Spring weather here as far as temps go, but the wind has just been howling away at 25 mph for 3 days now!!! Oh well, I want to let it sit a minute and go over everything with a fresh mind and make sure its all ready anyhow. Will let you know how I make out when I try it though. I am going to Fla to collect my folks and their vehicle end of week so it may take a couple of weeks. Thanks for all of your help and comments, I appreciate it.
