Hi Leo!

It is very nice to hear that my videos helped you buy the plane. I can tell you, you are going to love it!!! I think your N17 will fly as nice, or nicer than mine. You are obviously very detailed oriented and the work you are doing in your plane looks great.

You are correct, the aileron mechanism is a piece of art, that is why I decided to install the aileron servos directly on the wings. Someone told me that the bell-crank system is complicated and tricky, and sometimes the aileron travel is not enough. In my case, servos in the wings worked very good.

I live far from Quebec, but your friend could get rc stuff shipped to his/her hotel, www.greathobbies.com and www.hobbywholesale.com i believe are the biggest hobby stores in the country I hope this info helps!! feel free to ask me for as many info on the model as you want.
