Thanks for the input, Pattern Junkie. I like that idea for the cf landing gear - might try that in the future. I agree with you on the aileron bell-cranks, but figured I'd try it on a light-weight model like this one. I know what you mean about servos - the old Kraft ones shown on the plans are huge. I'm using 3 standard servos and a micro servo for the throttle plus a modern receiver, so a lot lighter, there. Will post more when I get it covered. Back to the sanding...
