Bull, i used most of the clevises and control rods, but i changed the motor mount and the tail wheel. and i also didn't use the spinner/ i also used nylon lock nuts on the wing joiners instead of the non locking nuts that came with the plane. just have fun with this plane its not the best 540 edge but it flys fast and true just a little heavy for good 3D flying. this plane handle more like a pattern plane
