Default RE: 1/5 scale Bell P-39 Aircobra...

Thanks everyone, I like the redundancy 0f the dual elevator servos. I haven't had any issues with my other big birds, but you never know!

I saw where DuBro makes a torque rod system using 4-40 wire. Would this be heaby enough, or would you go to the next larger size? I am also looking at using some welding rod, and silver soldering the flat pieces for the control arms on, then making the bends for the pieces that go into the elevators.

Yes this plane is going to be nose heavy buy quite a bit! I have looked at putting the motor into the "scale location", but I can't figure out a good, light, drive shaft to use. If I put the crank shaft on the thrust line, the drive shaft wants to be right where I would place all of my electronics.

I'm still scratching my head over that one. Hmmmmmmmm!!

What kind of glue is everyone useing to join sheeting onto their ribs, spars, formers, etc.?

Best Ragards,
Darrell
