I just got mine today

I just CA'd all the controle surfaces in.

Put the tail wheel and landing gear on too.

I think this is going to be a very easy build. The only problem I ran into was mounting the springs for the tail wheel. I tried doing it the way the manuel says to and succeded in doing so but when I would deflect the rudder there was an extreme amount of tension from the springs and I thought that my 5645 would have a very hard time moving the rudder like that. So I just cut the springs and that screw off.

I am going to use two new springs and two small screw on controle horns and attach the springs right next to the rudder pull pull horn. That should work.

I am going to use two Hitec 6635 servos for the elevator halves. I used them on the ailerons on my Funtana 90. Do you think they will be OK or would 645's be better. They are digital and have 83oz at .15 seccond speed for 60 degrees.

I have to go out of state for a week so I wont be able to get anything done, one day is just not enough time to build and fly, I might have been able to do it in 2 days though.
