Once again, thanks for the input. Unfortunately the kit is about 8 years old, I have been building it on and off for about 3 years having bought the kit in a importers (Ripmax) clearance sale here in the UK. The space for the servos is very very tight. The only one that comes close to fitting is the JR specified in the manual. We can only assume that such a powerfull servo is specified is because of the "sticktion" in the push rod linkage. It is due to this difficulty that I keep shelving the build for easier projects, even considering selling it on! With the advent of smaller servos being readily available, I would be prepared to sacrifice weight, balancing the servo position with a slightly bigger NiCad or even a Battery Backer system for greater safety.

Another issue is the availability of a suitable nose leg instead of the Yellow aircraft/Robart unit which is only available by importing it from the US.

Oh why Did I Start This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
