So it seems I may not be well served by the stock wheels. I have heard they're too small. I may want a pair of bigger ones anyway if for nothing else than to gain a little clearance for my 15" prop.

And yes, rcpilot44, my elevator linkage is ball linkes at both ends . It is a very slop free, easy moving setup. I hardened the servo mount areas on the back with lite ply. Under the rudder servo I did a full little servo tray, covered then epoxied externally to the fuselage. On the elevator I put some lite ply on the INSIDE, behind the servo screws. It's a solid setup.

Again, I am REALLY REALLY glad I mounted the servos in the back. Even with those two servo's and all the hardware I STILL had to shove my battery way back in the radio compartment just to get close to balancing. It's a nose heavy plane. With the 100 this plane would need lotsa tail weight to come out close. I may still add an ounce to the back. To those that are actually FLYING your STIKs, where are you CG'd? I'm at about 4" now.

I guess I'll put a little fiberglass on the landing gear block also. I gussetted it in with some additional balsa tri stock, but the glass wouldn't hurt.
