Hi Slope Pilot,
A few years back I kitbashed a .90 BUSA EIII into an EIV. Stick and logeron fuse, full flying rudder and elevator plus a few other mods. While yes, it's only fun scale, it did add a considerable amout to the "personality" and illusion of being more scale like. It flies just fine (I did add a lot of expo to the elevator). It's still flying today....well, it will be as soon as I repair some damage from a "dumb thumber" last year.

The project was alot of fun, and I learned a lot (which is a big part of it for me).

Here's a link to my build thread if you're interested. http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/fl...okker-eiv.html

If I can help in any way, please let me know.
Looks good! I notice the extra part on the fuselage, what is that? I've never seen that before.
