Thanks for the pointer to the manual. It helps....

Today, got the elevators hinged, control horns installed, JR 8411's mounted with Airwild MLP 1.25" arms.... Very tricky installation of servos into the pre-cut rib cutout, with arm sticking out of bottom of stab, but it means geometry will be good. Hoping 8411's will do it; 8611's would not fit. Will do some pics tomorrow.

As to quality - hinge slots and supplied hinges are VERY nice; fitup perfectly, with a little cleanup of the knuckle area, they were ready for Gorilla glue, which ALSO worked just dandy.

The firewall comes UN-installed, so that the builder can get the standoff/engine spacing he needs; nice touch.
The fuse is also COMPLETELY 'canister-ready', although I won't be using them, I'd bet it will be a GREAT place for a smoke tank!!

More tomorrow - this is going really well so far!!
