Been awhile, but I've been BUSY
She's DONE, except for canopy; waiting on instrument panel. Have to do final placement of batts for CG, but it is finished.
Brillelli 60 in the nose, with Scott's custom wrap-around Pitts style. Has a GREAT tone - no bark, but good, throaty "Brillelli Sound".....turning the Xoar 23 x 8 right on up there. Didn't tach it yet, first run, but it's a good un.

Put in the Hitec 5955TG's all around, and have to tell you those are terrific servos. Used some titanium 4-40 links from Tower (actually from an Associated car something-or-other, but they are 4-40, and seem good to go) for the elevators. Standard short 4-40's on ailerons.

The fit on everything is just outstanding. Cowl aligns perfectly, and following the calculations for the firewall locating, have just over 1 mm spinner gap. Love it.

Here's a couple pics - more later... Don't have weights yet, either, but I will.
