Yeah, I was thinking I would be up there near $200. I know when I do get my plane, I'm not going to just build stock. Probably going to bash a little bit. Larger surfaces, mes with the rudder a little bit, and put some counterbalances and everything on it. How much mods could I do and still be comfortably be able to use Futaba 3004 servos. I used them on my last one and didn't have any problems. Could I increase the length of each surface by like 1" and still be fine with the 3004's?

Well, I already have the iron and heat gun like I said, luckily I got them for Christmas last year. I'm loving that. My covering never gets loose; I guess it needs to go around the neighborhood a couple times and then see if she gets loose!![sm=bananahead.gif]

It's funny, my dad actually suggested using graphite on my pushrods also. I did, and they do alot better, very smooth now. I used something from a tube my dad had laying around. Man, that stuff is slick.

Actually my covering scheme I'm thinking about is just two colors, CHROME and CARBON FIBER. I want the fuse and top of the wings to be Carbon, with the bottom of the wings, Chrome and the ailerons chrome. The tail feathers would be chrome with carbon fiber rudder and elevator, or vice versa for the tail feathers and surfaces.

I know I might not be able to see that in the air, but I stay close to the ground, and I usually know what attitude I'm flying. That scheme would look hot on the ground!!

Thanks for the help Spectere, I might need something until I can get something, but I might just get everything myself so I will have it for future builds. Thanks though

Man, when I get to typing, I write too much, sorry guys.........
