I wish I hadn't removed the aileron torque rods though as it would be easy to cut the stock ailerons and mod them for flaps. i had already put two servos in the wings for the ailerons anyway.
Still need to cover the wing and install engine/radio , etc. Trying to decide if I want to make a cowl for the engine like the RCM article for the Tiger.

Good ideas, Bill... I want to keep the dihedral for stability and I don't want to put any more work into this than I have to.
