RCNutt,

A couple of things worth considering when building the Switchback

- when mouting the motor sand the square rod so it's a fairly loose fit in the GWS gearbox but then drill a hole through outer skin of the Switchback, the gearbox mounting and the rod and fit a screw. That way you can easily remove/refit the gearbox/motor. Given that the motors are only good for about 50 flights you will need a way to remove the gearbox/motor from time to time when you fit a new motor.

- consder making the landing gear assembly detachable and also do it in such a way that you can fit it "backwards" with the Y shape and the wheels pointing more forward - the SB does have a tendency to nose over so having the wheels a bit more forward is a good idea. You might want to think about using slightly heavier wire for the landing gear if you are using the AE NiCds which are heavier than the NiMh packs (personally I fly mine with 7 cell 600AEs)
