Hi,

Yeah, I bought an Aeroglass cowl from Dave at Quantum Models. www.quantummodels.com I think it was around $25. I might still build up the ABS one with the kit, but have read that the ABS plastic cowls don't hold up very well. My only other deviations from the kit plans are a pull-pull rudder connection, and I'm going to use a dual servo set-up with a reverser on the split elevators as opposed to the "Y" rod single servo set-up. Definitely going to go with the ailerons on both upper and lower wings as recommended by others.

Hey smallfly, any idea of the weight of your Saito 120? Trying to get an idea of how mine will balance out when all is said and done. My GMS.76 with the pitts muffler, spinner, and prop set-up I have weighs 2lbs by itself! I'm hoping I won't have a tail heavy problem (as most claim to have) with that much weight sitting on the nose.

Thanks,
-Fitz.
