LOL! Thanks for the link dude. I'll check it out ASAP.

Regarding weight however, 4 micro-servos should weight about what 1 standard servo weighs... so not sure you're really saving anything there. I've decided to forgo the micro's and go ahead and put 3 standard servos in the center of the wing (aileron, throttle, flaps).

How'd you hook up your flaps? I'm thinking of doing them the same way Hanger 9 did my PTS Mustang, using trailing edge embedded aileron rods with a surface mounted servo in the back of the wing. I was looking at some scale drawings of the B17 and it appears to me that the optional flap-lines drawn on the plans are pretty much correct and to scale. Only thing I can see wrong is that there should be a very acute triangle of trailing edge material between ailerson and flap that doesn't move, dividing them.

On engine power, my plans list .15 to .20 as recomended engine sizes. But as you say, engine technology has increased horsepower per ci since this plane's plans were 1st laid out so today's .15 may be more powerful than the .20 of that period.

Did you get a scale cockpit interior for yours?

More pics as you have the time, please! I'll start doing the same.

Thanks!
