RE: Is this scratch building a plane?
I would think that truly "scratch" building this airframe would require the "raw" materials......i.e. glue enough dog shat or maggotty meat in place (after sealing the wood of course-mustn't add weight) and wait! Personally though I would store these "models" elsewhere at a specially selected R&D site! (near the garbage pail)
Ballgunner,
I'm still trying to figure out where you'd INSTALL those servos? *wry grin*
