Default RE: Goldberg Decathlon

Ok, it's finished. Was able to run the engine yesterday but the wind was so intense and gusty that I didn't want to risk it. The field is also flooded, so in case I had to land with a deadstick I most likely would have had to put her down on water if not being able to make the runway.
Anyway here she is. Included some decals to make her look more aerobatic . I also painted the windows black with black metallic testors paint so you don't see the interior (servos and wires). Looks very nice IMHO.
Setup is:

-Ailerons : JR 531's (2x)
-Rudder : JR 531
-Elevator : JR 537's (2x)
-Throttle : JR 537
-Battery : JR Extra 6V 1100mah (sitting in the tail for balance. CG at 4") w. Cermark 6V regulator

-Engine : OS Surpass III 1.20 pumped with Sullivan remote glow connector.
-Tru Turn spinner with Graupner 14x7 3 Blade prop.

Final RTF weight is 10 lbs 2 oz, so I think the OS 1.20 should fly her nicely.
Hope you like it. Flight report to follow soon.
