Default RE: Top Gun Edge 540

Well its ready, all the control horns etc changed to Du-Bro heavy duty, how anyone would consider flying this using standard control horns I don't know, one advantage of moving the rudder servo was by taking off the underside of the fus I could see that the glue had not taken on both sides of the tailplane at the LE so I was able to epoxy into the gap left, bit more piece of mind, its funny how paranoid you can get if you have not built the plane yourself, mind you the funny geometary on some of the control horns had me a little concerned anyway. Will report after I fly the thing.

EDIT: just noticed if you look at the middle pic you can see the epoxy and microballoons just peaking through at the LE shows how little attachement there was at the front of the tailplane.
