Jason could probably win the nats with my 4 year old Phase One. I plan on using gas/glow engine not electric. I believe electric would be much smooooooother as it lacks the pressure pulse from the piston firing.

Lets see about the mods. make new rudder -- replace rudder, don't put servos in stab. I bought 2 $80 mini digital SA's. Replace wings and somehow strengthen the fuse so it doesn't break. The factory fix just moves the breaking point forward a couple of inches.
