Gray Beard- Oh, it will be fun- muahahaha!

I was worried about how heavy my chosen engine was going to be- no longer. The Saito FA90-TS is 5oz heavier than the O.S. 70 Surpass II, so if need be I will move the battery towards the rear. Can't wait to hear my first two-cylinder purr!

As far as the ailerons go, any tips for construction? The simplest way would be to run a pushrod from the lower surface to the upper one, but I'm very tempted to try 1 servo per wing, with torque rods in each surface. I could really hide the servos and wires that way, and it works out to the same amount of work per servo. And no ugly exposed pushrods.

As far as it being a handful on the ground, all I can say is I bet it is! Its a shorty, all right. I'm already having flashbacks of my primary instructor saying "right rudder, right rudder!" The build will start soon....
