I *just* finished mine. Finished it last night... have yet to fly it in fact. I used HS-81's in mine all around... 5 servos. 2 HS-81's will squeeze in just barely in the wing servo mount hole...which will let you do flaperons on it. Hoping this will help slow it down for landing. I should be flying it tomorrow morning or maybe sunday, not sure which just yet.

I will say one thing.... throw out the stock pushrods. They are complete crap...especially the throttle linkage, it goes through a couple of twists and is very stiff, I doubt a servo would last long pushing the stock pushrods through it. I used a cable in the throttle linkage, just soldered the ends about 2-3 inches on each side to keep the cable from flexing after exiting the guide tube. Works great now. The rudder and elevator pushrods are pretty straight runs, but were also pretty hard to slide the pushrods in, I replaced the factory inner part with a sullivan pushrod of the same size and they work great now too. No complaints with building it, goes together pretty good. Took me maybe 20 hours or so to finish. I put an OS .25 fx in mine, balanced nicely with the batter and receiver just under where the pilot is.

On mine the instructions said to mount the tank square with the former, but I couldn't do this. The motor is mounted at a -45 degree angle, and there are pieces of wood behind the firewall for motor mount reinforcement - mounted at the same -45 degree angle. This makes the tank need to be mounted the same way if you want the tank opening to snug up into the firewall. So my tank went in straight, and then sort twists into place to line up with the wood reinforcers on the firewall. (you'll see what I mean) It's easy to do, but the problem is that the tank then interferes with the wing. I had to sortof smash the rear corner of the tank down a bit with my hands to get the wing to fit nicely. No big deal now that it's in, but maybe a tank with a different shape would work a bit better? Or a softer tank like a Sullivan RST might work real nicely. Or just smash it like I did!! otherwise just follow the instructions and all is well, it's easy to build.

The metal bolts for the wing make me a bit nervous in case I manage to crash... anybody replaced these with nylon ones?
How about the landing gear? I left both of mine metal, but am thinking of changing them out very soon...
