Got to spend more time with my ARF last night. I'm really pretty pleased with it so far.

I cut the covering for the wing tubes, canopy tray and servo mounts.
I test fit the H-stab and it fit perfectly, no gaps, tube in snug but not too tight to make it difficult. The wing tube was a different story, going to have to do some sanding I think. anlhough I am considering a CF tube. (anyone reccomend a good company?)

I'm not happy with the way the wing mounts, 2 hooks in each wing half that are held with springs in the fuse. I'd like some feedback on this as I'm thinking a small ply reinforcement on the inside of the fuse and using nylon bolts ala GP Patty style. If anyone has a Patty and can send pics I'd appreciate it. I was also thinking of making the tailfeathers removable instead of fixxed as well. As it is it has an alum tube and an alum alignment pin... shouldn't be too hard to tap the tube for cap head bolts.

I guess the only other issue I need to solve is what to hang on the nose of this bird. I see someone else planning on a Saito 1.80. I was looking at the OS 1.60 or the Supertigre. I'm not looking for 3D just IMAC basic and if I have the power to spare, smoke. So feel free to let me know your thoughts.
