The kit spinner is claiming kills!

Must-do mods:
- Put some stiff beams between the engine mounts and the airframe wood, the ply is soft and if you install the engine directly on it, it will vibrate out of place and possibly destroy the ignition sensor (happened to me) - see pics on post #2028 above

- Reinforce the retract mounts, also soft wood there

- Fix the top radiator flaps to the wing and use the bottom ones as flaps (like you suggest)

- Use 2 elevator servos with flex-rods, or anything more robust than the stock pushrod with fork

- The tailwheel pushrod is a little tricky to get rotating properly without binding

That's all I can remember, needs a bit of work but flies well and looks nice!
