Ron, glad to hear that you are going to use both the dowel and nylon bolt mod. The nylon bolts will ensure a secure and gapless joint between the wing and the fuselage. The additional weght added by this mod is nothing compared to the added security it will provide. If you have any questions regarding the nylon bolt mod, you can PM me or e-mail me at any time. I will be more than willing to provide any assistance.

Bank Yank, that is quite an impressive list of equipment you have there. One question though: Did you purchase those JR DS811's just for this plane? Standard servos work exceptionally well on the ailerons and throttle. I used Futaba 9202's for the elevator and rudder, but I know others have used standard servos all the way around with great success. With the Magnum 91XLS up front, you may want to consider an alternate battery choice. I think that a 1000-1400 mah pack will be more than enough. You have to consider the added weight of the larger pack. Just my thought. I like the polished spinner idea. As soon as I get more down time, I plan on polishing my landing gear and spinner.

Ray, I like your proposed cover to Model Aviation. You get my support on that one...LOL
