Hello:

I am currently working on a Guillows Hellcat, and I have a couple of questions. I've redesigned the fuselage for 1-piece formers aligned with a horizontal keil. I'm using the design in the kit for the built-up tail feathers, and I plan on redesigning the wing to include a hardwood spar. I plan on sheeting the wing and fuse in 1/32" balsa.

1) I plan on using an AP .061. Does anyone have any experience running it inverted? Any problems or notes with fuel tank placement?

2) Any recomendations on thrust line or wing and stab incidences? I've heard to come to 0-0-0 with Guillows kits. Also any recommendations for the CG, I was thinking 30% MAC.

3) I plan on using silkspan to cover the entire model and painting it. I've never used it; will it be strong enough for a gasser?

4) What torque servos have you used on these sized Guillows conversions?

Thanks for your assistance! I will post pictures as they come along.
