Default RE: Peakmodel Extra 260 dual elevator fitting problems

Today is my 2nd day of flying my Extra 260 and everything turned out fine except that I lost one of the wheel pants which dropped in mid air due to vibration.

All my 5 servos are Futaba S3001, brand new. They serve the purpose as I dont fly 3D at the moment.

My first maiden last Sunday saw a totally loosen linkage on one of the ailerons and luckily the plane was landed safely. Most importantly, the advice from senior members to check for loosen parts immediately after the first maiden paid off. Had I not adhered to the advice and took off immediately after the refilling, the plane would have gone out of control and crashed. So, do check every bolts and nuts on your first landing as the vibration from the single cylinder gas engine can wreck havoc...
