Thanks for the quick post! I now see what you mean - now that doesn't look like my arrangement at all? I'm wondering if I have a different version of the Panic. I might opt to mount some control horns and ball links so that they are at right angles.

RE: Avicraft Panic
 

If you have the original panic, the main thing is the CG. This is the same on the new one. 4 inches back from the leading edge of the top wing. I am running mine at about 5 inches and it is wild. I had the old one for nearly 20 years and finally sold it with an ASP 91 to fund the new one. I have a West 50 on the front and it weighs 5lbs, the old one was just over 6lbs.
You will love it's wild antics as it does things you didn't now a plane could do.

I hesitate to ask this, but do you know the mounting details for the ailerons for the 'old' version?

RE: Avicraft Panic
 

The original Panic had a one piece flap on the top wing that worked with the elevator but many people put on four ailerons to improve the roll rate. I recommend you do the same and either use four servos or make up you your own links as you prefer.
Here is a link to a site where a guy goes through the build of an original Panic.
