I'm FINALLY back to work on the beast. Today I installed the rudder servo and cables, setup the elevator servos and linkages, and mounted the speed control in the nose. Pictures to follow shortly.
Doug, have you had a chance to maiden her yet? My prototype scheme version comes next week - hope to have her ready in 2-3 weeks.

Rgds,
Mark
Unfortunately.. I had a mishap the day of the 1st flight and it never flew. A relatively new guy flying a trainer on his own crashed into the pits and hit the Extra. The only thing usable is the rudder and the right stab. I was waiting to see if he was going to replace the airplane (his offer, I asked for nothing) but he hasn't as yet.
