Thanks for your patience, guys.
This helps me quite a bit.

We (my friend and I have the same 1/4 scale planes) have the Sopwith's almost completely framed up.
Ready to hinge the surfaces now.

Then it's on to installing electronics, and then covering.
All servos will be new metal geared, and all extensions are new.
In fact, every single component on my plane will be new (G-26 included) except the Tx and Rx.

I'll post in a month or two when I maiden it.
