John,

Excellent pictures! A good picture really is worth 1,000 words!

Most pictures try to hide the wires, servos, etc. But as a first-time builder, that's what I'm interested in.

It looks like you're using control arms of only a moderate length. Ever since I started learning about 3D flying, I read about people getting the longest control arms possible. Those moderate length control arms work well for your 3D flying?
