xoon,
What you have going from the photos looks really nice. I'm using JR-8411's in mine however the Hitecs mentioned should also work well (at about half the cost). Dowels will work however many have trouble with installation. I use baltic birch plywood 1/4" thick hard-points glued in with Titebond Polyurethane glue. It is really strong and bonds very well with the wood and foam (and also be used to install the dowels previously mentioned). For the wing attachment install a blind nut onto a dowel. Drill a hole into the wing to contacT the phenolic tube but not to penetrate it. Install the dowel with the blind nut against the phenolic tube. After the glue cures (making sure you don't get glue in the blind nut) drill through the dowel and blind nut into the aluminum tube. Use a hex bolt with washer and lock washer to hold everything in place. The bolt tightens into the blind nut and stays in place. As far as the Brison it is good however there have been problems with some of the rings that control the spark advance. I'm running a BME-50 which is about $50.00 more and includes an electronic advance with mufflers (running a Bisson) costing about the same. The BME is a real powerhouse and at only 3 lbs is really great in the power to weight race. BME is an advertiser here on RCU so check them out. I use the Rocket City Hardware (now distributed by Don's Hobby shop and Nelson products) with good results. I make pushrods using a rod-chuck system from welding rods. It is really stiff and cost effective. I made all the pushrods from one 36" rod. Any slop in the linkage can cause flutter with disastrous results. Make sure you use all 4/40 rods and linkages in this size plane. I run redundant batteries and switches into one receiver (JR~PCM only for me in gasoline powered craft). Look at the IMAC forum for photos of planes. Let me know what you like and I'll see what can be done for a trim scheme. Do you plan to keep the current fuselage color scheme? If so then the design should complement it. I have several color scheme files on this plane. If you need one I have a 3 view which when copied can be used with colored markers and the like to test color schemes. See PM for additional information. Make sure the top and bottom have distinctive design differences. Basic geometric shapes are easier to see. Use grey scale opposites for visibility. (Grey scale is evident if you place 2 colors together and make a copy in black/white. White and yellow for the lighter colors with red, green, blue and black as opposites. Take red blue together and they will be about the same scale on a copy machine).
