Thanks Bob.

I found the ancient thread, here on RCU. I've read the horror stories, but there were a few happy endings, too.

I'm taking on this project, to see if I can make it fly. I'm fully aware that there is a distinct probability of failure.

I've already installed the strut mounts, paying attention to getting the top wing in th "up" position.

Did you have issues with the landing gear itself, or just the way that it is mounted ?

I've decided to go with wing mounted aileron servos, bypassing the torque tube setup. Would you, or Paul, have you have a servo suggestion ? I have a pair of HS 55 servos, but I think they may be too small to control an upper and lower pair of ailerons.
