Default RE: wild hare extra 260 ailerons

The Project 260 is mine, and Shawn is helping me with it. We moved the stab location
back by using parrallel measurements and then checking that the incidences were correct.
The second modification, to adhere to a more scale appearance, was to cut the Elevator
Counterweight oieces off and re-glue the to the ends of the horizontal stabs.
I am not one of the faster builders of models, so I ask that you be patient. I want this done
correctly and am not inclined to work faster than I am comfortable with. I have 90% of what
I need to finish the model. The last 10% will be ordered soon.
Currently, there is some finish sanding to be done and then covering. I covered the Rudder
and one Elevator this morning.
As Shawn mentioned ealier, projected maiden flight date will be mid- October.

Does anyone know if this project 260 was ever flown. I have considered ordering another set of stabs and making a set without the counterbalances. Curious if the modifcation improved IMAC sequence flying.
