Well, after beating mine half to death over the past season, she is finally relagated to the hanger for a badly needed recover job. I'm planning on stripping her this winter and recover with either Monocote or Ultracote. The graphic design will be retained but I might change the colors to make it unique.

I also need to redo my elevator pushrods. When I first put her together I had too much bind and could not get a good smooth deflection from both elevator halves. I solved this by replacing the standard HS-425BB servo with a high-torgue HS-605BB. It was laziness on my part and the 605 was available -- it worked and I had a blast with this bird for an entire season.

I'm still convinced the OS SX .50 is the engine for this plane and will retain it for next season.
