Couple of questions:

Did you guys use one elevator servo and set it up per the instuctions?
I set mine up per instructions.

Does your red checkerboard covering seem thin, snd shrink a lot under heat?
Not really. It's held up well. I initially took an iron to it to tighten it, but that's about it.

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?
I haven't had any problems with the setup as recommended after many flights.

ORIGINAL: Adam G
Any other mods that you guys would recommend? Landing gear need any reinforcement, etc?
I liberally applied epoxy around the gear area and added a hardwood piece.

I would also see about adding some re-inforcement to the firewall, as others have posted that there is not much securing the firewall to the fuselage.
