Default RE: ASM DH-88 Comet

Hi Tim.

I'll leave the pull pull on the rudder, but will setup a sturdier rod for it, and will have a seperate set of cables going to a pull pull tail wheel that's mounted to some hard wood carved to match the curve of the inside of the bottom of the fuselage.

The directions call for the outer wing panels to be glued to the inboard section, to which the nacelles and landing gear are attached. I'm weighing heavily the option of having removable wing panels so the plane can sit on its gear while in the back of my truck.

Dual pushrods for the elevator halfs, Robart 510 pneumatic retracts, and possibly a recover/ repaint job. Red planes are nice, but it's just another damn red ARF. I think its lines would look much better in black/ charcoal grey, with gold trim.

That's about all I can think of at the moment. I'm in the USAF and I'm deploying in about 36 hours, so don't expect an update 'till September or October.
