Charlie P, I got this building heavy thing all figured out. I didn't even think about the wing bolt blocks being part of the energy dissipation system. Do you think it would be worth backtracking to replace these block with balsa or possibly use smaller nylon wing bolts than 1/4x20? If I leave it as is, it looks like I run some risk here in the event of an event. The landing gear looks kind of cool as it sweeps back slightly to place the gear even with the leading edge. I'll start with this configuration.

Egor, Thanks for the site address. Looks like good stuff. I think I want to run both the rudder and tailwheel off the same servo and the springs sound like the thing to do. I can start to see this configuration in my head now. Do you reccommend this one servo at least be double ball bearing? I debated about the plywood on the wings TE area and opted for the extra glass in that area because it didn't make a big hump. I hope it's strong enough. You do have me reevaluating the landing gear area. (Seems like I got the wing block and the gear block construction strength methods mixed up[X(].) I believe I'll add a layer of plywood for the gear.

The bomb bay doors still have me puzzled. I tried the Robart door hinges but these doors are at 90 degrees to the fuselage sides so they don't seem to be very suitable. I can make my own hinges or use small piano hinge. As to the servo to actuate these doors would that be a retract servo or a standard servo?

Also , are the flap servos just standard servos controlled by the radio?

Thanks Guys,
