Default RE: OTOP PICS!!!

I'm still puzzling through how I will do the elevator connection. Most likely, a CF pushrod, standard stuff. It's interesting though - they provide some nice little FG laminated balsa pieces to build rudder & elevator servo trays from. Now, based on the stock dimensions of the trays, the rudder servo will wind up completely aftwards in the radio bay, right behind the access hatch for the pipe. This leaves only a spot in front of it to lay the elevator servo on it's side. It appears to be a really tight clearance to get the CF rod to go under the rudder servo. I can modify everything and all that, but it just looks a bit tight by factory standard design. I spoke to Carla at Planes Plus today and a photo instruction disk is on the way. To be completely fair, I think the reason I didn't get this with the order is because I had a buddy take this straight back from Toledo and in all the post-show rushing around, the disk got forgotten. Everything is pretty much self explanatory anyway and so much work is already done for you, it's almost criminal .
