Thanks for the info/ comments. I hadn't thought about the lift curve so as I progress, I'll watch the throw. I watched the Su video of your plane, Dan, and it looks like it flys quite well. I'll try and upload a couple of pics. Right now I have a BB 48 oz servo and 4-40 rod, but just for a mockup. The surface moves quite easily but too much 'give'. I'll need aluminum arm and probably 3/16 th to 1/4" rods

Thanks for the kind words. Flankers are a good flying design. No bad habits or nasty surprises. You're going to enjoy flying your's.

Yeah, you don't want to have the elevon pushrods bending under load. Daren almost lost his prototype model that way.

Your model is looking good so far. Thanks for the pics.

Dan
