I will post some for sure. i was going to use two JR 8411 servos on the back but everyone seems to like one servo. So I ordered one of JR's best servos and still saved 30 dollars over two of the 8411's. So far everything looks good. Two things i found so far. one is the paint cracking on the hingeline for the ailerons near the tip. i will stop drill them and then add some paint. the other is on the rudder. the main spar is only glued on one side in the section where the servo goes. you can tap on it and hear it. past the servo compartment it seems bonded.

This will be my first jet build and i have a question for you pros. Do I need Hysol to glue in the control horns? I have west systems and carbosil, will this work as well? I got the kevlar tanks and measured them last night. The larger one is 90.5 ounces and the smaller one is 42.5 ounces. Total minus UAT is 133 ounces. So it carries over a gallon of fuel lol.
