Sorry to hear about your loss, but as others say, keep going back. I am assembling my US Lite with a G-26 and spent the last weekend building out the firewall and mounting the engine on the fuse. Thanks for the pic of the throttle config. I was planning on doing it similar to what you have, so it helped me decide. I epoxied the wing together last night and am awaiting Hi-Tec 635's all around for my servos. Also moved the elevator and rudder servos to the tail and will use a pull-pull configuration. I also drilled out the mounting screw holes and attached it will 10 - 32 1 1/4" blind nuts and bolts. I hope to maiden it sometime next week. Would do it this weekend, but will not have the time to complete the entire build by this weekend.
