Thought I'd share the Guillows' Zero RC conversion I've been working on since late this summer. I bought the kit at RC Country Hobbies in Sacramento, CA while doing some consulting work in Sacto this summer. Had lots of evening time to kill and after building a DNU in record time decided I wanted something "more challenging" to get into. I did a lot of searching and reading from the existing Guillows RC conversions on RCUniverse first, and many thanks to all of you who have shared your Guillows experiences in this forum - you've helped me avoid doing some patently stupid things (kit building-wise at least). I decided to build it with a detachable wing, and to make it aileron, elevator and throttle. Picked up a Norvel .061 Big Mig and will use a 1oz round tank with a 270mah Hitec battery, JR 600 receiver, and GWS naro servos. Hoping to keep it at 12 - 13 oz RTF which will give me a wing loading between 14 - 15 oz/sf.

First half of the fuse has been assembled. Added 1/32" ply to the longerons for strength, and have used 1/16" spruce instead of the supplied 1/16" mush that came with the kit. The box in the center of the wing saddle was my first attempt at dealing with the aileron servo. More on that later.
