Last night I was able to work on getting the aileron servos fitted. A minor adjustment to the length of each servo box was required...I guess BJ is a JR fan. Although I could not make any ID of a horn slot for the G10 type horns I was able to conclude that the ailerons are quite strong and certainly solid in the area where a hardpoint is required. I fell back on my old faithful carbon rod control horns which have never failed me in the past. I used a simple jig to make sure my clevis pivot would be centered directly over the hinge line.

I was able to then look at how square and true the bottom wing to fuselage was. Seems very square to the tailpost, and a measure from the tailpost to each wingtip was pleasantly dead on. The bottom wing rtf weighs in at a scant 16.9oz. The top wing with servos, rtf weighs 17.4oz.
