Basement Troll...

That weight sounds good. I'm hoping for about the 8.5 weight myself. I'm gonna use a Saito125 in mine. I want to compare it to my 110s. The 110s are sweet engines but I'm dieing to try one of the Saitos. I've already got the engine just waiting for the plane to show up. Because it's an international shipment it takes longer than usual for me.

I don't understand your problem with the control horns but I'm sure I will when I inspect the airplane.

How was the covering? Does it look nicely assembled? Glue?

Anyways, good luck with your build. I'll be watching.
Thanks
