This is why I love kit building. I am now installing the servo tray for my tiger. As you can see the ply servo tray included in the kit is sub-par. So much so, that when I wanted to dry fit it into the fuse it snapped in two (see pics). I don't have to wait long for an excuse to Mod something. I took into account that I'm using high torque servos, with pull-pull control surfaces and came to the conclusion that the servo tray will be a stressed area. The solution (1/4" thick super strong ply) will add a little weight but at least when the tiger takes off I know that is one part that will not break (thats the T-R-S piece on the left). Check out the pics and you'll see what I'm talking about.

On a similar topic, this is a great looking and great flying aircraft (popular opinion), but the wood included in the kit is of horrid quality. I have decieded at the end of this build so submit a complete list (with pictures) of Mods and areas that I strenthened (I think I'm up to 22 now). The reason is, I'm hearing too many stories from guys who assembled the kits following the plans and had a rudder come off in a snap roll or some wood component failing. At least this way all the popular Mods will be cataloged in one place. Be on the look out!

Thx for all your replys,
