Bruce...I just got out of the garage.....mine is ready too. I ironed white ultracote back on the bottom of the fuse...velcro'd the battery right behind the tank and guided the end of the antenna nicely along the fuse to the rear, on to the stab. I too will maiden her this Friday.......I'm hecka curious how she will do....I have the S/T 90 in the nose, with no additional weight..balancing at exactly 5.50...Too bad we can't maiden her together....that would be lots of fun!!This is my first S/T engine....we'll see how she does with it, but it should be more than enough power....haven't programmed the throws in my radio yet though...will do that on the field...I just did a quick check up and noticed I had forgotten to put a servo screw in the servo arm from the rudder servo..I actually don't use the rudder a whole lot, but still.... they did a good job glueing all the hinges in..all surfaces are really smooth..I use a 6V 1650MAh battery, so plenty of juice for the servo's.......well...one more work day tomorrow, then my weekend starts..I'll keep ya'll posted..
