Default Stingray Construction

"Coincidentally, I'm working on the stingray rudders right now too. I'm concerned about cutting a big square hole in the side, reducing the structural integrity of the fin. I'll probably try it as they recommend at first and see how it goes. If I need to patch a hole later, so be it I guess... "

Just food for thought...when I was cutting out the servo cover on the second fin I noticed that it was rather flimsy after I had been messing with the other fin after it was completed. Mounting the servo up in the fin really made a difference in the rigidness of the fin with the servo being boxed in with the 1/16th ply. Thought I would pass it on just in case you cared!
