I am very near done with mine. Had to take a 4 month break to go to war, but now I'm back and ready to fly!! I have modified the non-steerable retract to steer-pretty slick too (I think). I retain the ruggedness of the OK gear, and keep construction relatively simple. I am also NOT installing a rudder, but overall weight not much different due to the steering servo. But, it's way up front, where I want the weight. I also stuffed a square battery pack inside the nose block, further increasing the moment there. Hopefully I can break the engine in this weekend!! I have been thinking about flaperons, and even possibly elevons with the two independend elevators. Maybe it could be activated with the retract switch-like a landing/takeoff mode, then normal with the gear up?! Well, I guess I'll be happy with simply airborne for now. Looks cool though-all covered except the nose, which is the last thing to be completed (i.e. radio installation)
Let me know if you have any questions. I have construction pics too. Also, check out BennyX's website-tons of great stuff there. Must be the nicest DJ-3 yet!!
