Default RE: PHOENIX MODELS F-20 TIGERSHARK ?

Finally getting there the onlything left to do is the belly pan and a maiden in the next few days...I still have some graphics to add but here she is
last minute change saw an OS50SX go in with a VMAX tunned muffler turning a 10 x 6 for now as the spinner backing plate damaged my 9X8.... I will be adding to the graphics ..didnt get a chance to get some water slide paper yet..but all in good time..

I did try some dummy missles on the wing tips just a mock up out of cardboard tubes but I decided that would create far to much drag

the only thing that bothers me with this model is the weird angle of the control rod which actuates the elevators(last photo)..dont know why they didnt mount this servo on the opposite side of the rudder the angle would have been more friendly.. I wonder if this has something todo with the failure that Tony expirienced.
