Status: online Hi all, my swallow fly's rearly well once you get the C of G back to approx 170mm behind the LE, I put my elevator servo's in the tail, one either side, used Hitec 5245MG's to keep the weight resonable, the UC is not good broke mine on the first landing the front extended piece broke away from the main leg, now have a carbon replacement from Carbon Copy in the Uk they make a direct replacement UC, I reinforced the seating by putting an extra 1/4" ply plate under the orriginal with a fibre glass strip between the two and up the sides of the fus internally, no problems for the last twenty or so flights, I have had a overheating problem with the engine but that is the engine not the planes fault.
