I hear you shaw, but with a plane this large, if a servo fails, this plane can do a LOT of damage. I don't care about the speed increase, just the torque. I feel much safer with 200+ oz of torque on these huge control surface, especially on a 150" 65+ pound plane. I guess it's just me.

It may not look like I have done much, but all that is left is to sheet the bottom of the center wing section (I am thinking about making a retractable siren that folds up into the wing!), remake the landing gear (somehow lighter), make the cowl and wheel pants and start glassing. I have been working on it a few hours a day and have made a lot of progress! Don't know if I will have it done by Joe Nall, but definitely by mid-summer.
