Here's what I did to my SE.

Replaced main gear with Dubro fiber gear which is taller so I also beefed up the landing gear plate. Replaced the tail gear with a Sullivan gear. Sliced off the top half of the tail fin and fixed it to the leading edge of the rudder as a counter balance. This improved knife edge performance big time! I have a friend that just added material to the trailing edge of the rudder and his doesn't come close to mine in knife edge and he has more power on the nose than I do. Moved the elevator servo to an aft mount just under the horizontal stab. Added pull pull cables for the rudder. Slapped an OS50SX on the nose and she's one happy bird! I've had a stock SE before this one and I was very happy with these mods. Don't over look beefing up the landing gear plate... especially if you fly on a grass field... . I've got pics in my gallery if you want to take a peak.

btw... to those of you who state that this plane needs no mods and flies great per plans. I agree. I like the SE as a stock per plans plane too... so please don't take offense to my mod suggestions. But I also like to put my own stamp on what I fly to see if I can improve performance, looks or whatever. That being said bashing and mods can be fun too [8D].
