Nickolas,
I used stock fuel tank, stock throttle cable and stock push rod. I used dubro adjustable control horn (tower stock # LXD932) on ailerons and elevator, with metal clevis, this will give you more precise control. Stock pull pull will work fine but I used dubro. I also used stock pull pull horn.....very simple but effective.
To my experience aircraft is not a floater...... you have to bring in with a notch or two of power and ideal when you are 2 feet off ground. I may me wrong as there wasd slight wind yesterday.
Thanks
Asif
