Thaaanks iiiat! I think I saw a picture of your tail wheel set up on here, nice work. Anything beats having the tail wheel come off the rudder in my opinion, even if you just make it non-retractable in the scale location. I'm not to worried about the CG on this plane, I know that the nose has been lengthened quite a bit and I'm not going to mess with that, good idea to mount the throttle servo up front. So you didn't even have to have the battery under the engine? I think I'm going to use my trusty Dave Brown feather weight wheels, scaled out of course! I'm adding a full cockpit, but it's very light weight.

I've been working on the wing mostly, did finish construction on the rudder, need to cut into the fin and get the hinge line right.

Marked out the ailerons and cut those out, this is going to be fun because I'm using scale hinging on them. No servo in the wingtips, I'm upgrading to bell-cranks so everything will be hidden. For the flaps they will be hinged with giant robart hinge points on the bottom. The length of the flaps are all wrong, but I just want them to work good and slow the plane down.

You can see that the true size of the elevator is actually bigger than the ones supplied, just have to take an inch off the tip of the stab. I'm using scale hinging on the elevators with a hidden control rod, this is easy to do with PC board material for hinges. I'll post more pictures as I get all this done.
