ORIGINAL: OverTheEdge

Here's an update (sorry no new pics).

All covering is done! All servos mounted!
Still need to make the links for the ailerons and elevator.
I did decide on the Saito 82 for power and I just got it today! Been fiddling around with the throttle linkage (the thing I hate most about 4 strokes) all day. Finally got a setup that I think I'm happy with. Unfortunately, since I changed my mind for the power plant at the end of my build and covering job, I had to hack at the left fuse cheek to make clearence for the throttle arm, low end mix needle access, etc... Oh well... you'll have that... Atleast it's not a prized scale project. If that's the only battle scars that this thing gets for awhile I guess I can be happy with that.

I'll try to get a fully assembled pic posted soon.
It'll be a month or more before I can give a flight report... -20 to -30 wind chills here right now. [:'(]
Wow the saito 82 will match your RCU name LOL. Prop clearence will be an issue. Did you get larger wheels ?
I'm using an Irvine 53 with a 12x6 APC and larger wheels I have just enough clearence.
