Default RE: Matt Chapman cap 580 .40 size

Ok, I got my radio gear in. I'm with you Blender, I was not real thrilled with the elevator set up either. But I went ahead with their instructions and it seems to be ok. I did have to move the elevator servo over a little because I had it too close to the rudder servo. I went to hook up the rudder and had to use a longer arm on the servo to get the 3" of throw they want each way. I worked on it for a while tonight and got all the throw set to the recommendations. All I have left is deciding what I want to do with the exhaust and balancing. Before I quit for the night I did a quick check for balance and right now it looks to be a little tail heavy. I will finish it up either tue. or wed. night and let you all know the final weight.


I could not find the knockoffs on ebay either, must have just missed it.
