Hi Plane Insane! (may I call you just plain Plane?<g>)

>>Will you be updating your website through the construction phase... I'd be interested in seeing how well it goes, and what you run across.<<

I'll keep the website updated, yes. Already I've noticed that there is a built-in option for dual elevator servos in the tail (as well as the included push rod).

I also noticed that I was wrong about the lack of double beveling on all surfaces. The elevators, in fact, are double beveled and capable of 80 degree throws.

I was wrong about being able to use a 1/16" gap to get enough throw on the rudder and ailerons, as well. There's just no way that's going to be enough. I'll have to double bevel those surfaces. Looks easy enough, though.

One more observation... the fuse is the only heavy part of the plane. It's just built like an army tank. I don't think you could break it with a bat. I'll definitely be hacking several ounces out of the fuse... and it won't be that hard to do... there's just alot of wood everywhere.
