Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Hey guys,

Been following the thread for a quite sometime, and now that you guys are posting again, I decided to fianally picked up my Skybolt last Friday, and boy, did I get a bad one. Covering was terrible, parts missing, etc, etc. I am going to contact Great Planes and see if they can help me out.

I am going with the an OS .91fx on mine, and I am going to do smoke. Sounds like maybe the 14x6 sport prop is the way to go. I think I will start with that and see how it performs. Going to start out with the CG at the aft most suggested, and see how it goes.

Couple of questions:

Did you guys use one elevator servo and set it up per the instuctions?

Does your red checkerboard covering seem thin, snd shrink a lot under heat?

Anyone mount the control horns on the lower wing with more reinforcement, or are 2 screws good enough to hold both ailerons on each side?

Any other mods that you guys would recommend? Landing gear need any reinforcement, etc?

Thanks,

Adam
