It's been a few days, ok a couple of weeks, but I finally got it done.

I had to do some mods on it to help reduce the weight but I think they will all help out in the end. I moved the throttle servo forward, just behind the fuel tank. That allowed me to move the rudder servo forward in the servo tray. I had to cut some of the wood from one side to allow the servo to sit more toward the center of the plane. This allowed me to put in a longer arm for more throw. I had to redo the pull-pull wire but that wasn't a big deal.

All of this with the heavy hub and lock nut inside the spinner I got it to balance, juuuust forward of 3". I did have to get a wire cable for the throttle, that wire didn't like the bend needed for the servo to sit so close.

Here are a couple of pics of it all done. Using the old Mk1 Mod3 bathroom scale it comes in right around 6lbs. I start my shift tomorrow so I'll have to try and get it into the air on Sat.

OK, pics won't load for some reason... I'll put em on later.
