Default RE: TF Contender

Scott, thanks for the flight report. I am looking forward to that day. Work on mine has been rather slow.

I have the fuselage finished except for the cowling, the wing is finished on the bottom and I am ready to roll it over
and sheet. I added 1/2" to the ailerons, straightened out the rudder and will use the optional tips.

I hope to have the building complete, with the exception of cowling and covering in the next couple of weeks.
I have ordered the servos. I have kinda stalled on a couple of things waiting for the servos. I want to install
them before I complete a couple of minor steps. The cowling is waiting for me to order a 2 3/4 Tru Turn spinner.

Thanks again for the report. Keep the flight reports coming. Kieth, I noticed you said you "counter balanced" the
elevator. What does that mean. I allready have all the moving surfaces built and ready to hinge. But, I would
rebuild the elevator if it will imporve flight characteristics.

Thank all of you for your help.

Jim
