Swager,
I just found your thread today after searching all of the four star threads for the past week! Sometimes RCU amazes me with their search engine.

Anyway, I just completed my wings last night and I'm about to start the fuse tonight. Is that about a one evening job? It looks like it.

I had all kinds of trouble getting my wings to mate right. I don't really know why, I used the dihedral guage that came with the kit but they just didn't want to go together. I finally got it to go with a good bit of sanding. Seems fairly solid.

Did you use the nylon fabric that came in the kit for the wing seam? Mine seems pretty narrow.

I'm going with a single aileron servo with nyrods and flaps. Not because this plane needs flaps but because flaps are COOL.

Both of my other planes have dual aileron servos and it is pretty awesome. Lots of differential control, plus you can have flaperons and spoilerons.

Nice looking bird, keep us posted.
