I am planning to start building (assembling?) this weekend. I'll try to remember to take some pictures along the way.
I am planning to go with a Saito .72 in mine (although it does seem light enough that a .46FX would do fine). Anybody have any trouble balancing yet with a "heavier" engine?
The size of the control surfaces look great, although I realize that the intent of this plane is not "3D." Again, I simply cannot believe that the rudder (which is obviously built-up, not just a sheet) actually has an airfoil shape to it! The elevator is also airfoiled (tapered), but it is solid.
After reading through the manual last night, I am wondering how others attached the horizontal stab. Since it "slides in" (from the side of the fuse) how could there ever be any epoxy *inside* to make a strong connection. And I don't want to use CA (with the lite-ply there).
