Hi Mark,

Been quite a while now since my last response. I'm just about done with the painting. Hopefully the test flight will be in a month or so.

I have used pull-pull cable system for the rudder and elevator controls, as I thought that the distance was a bit too much for nyrods with the servos upfront as mentioned on the plans. I used double linkaging for the tail-wheel and rudder connection. In hindsight though I should have taken separate pull-pull cables from the tail-wheel and the rudder to the common servo for both. Anyways hope this will work out too.

One thing I am worried about for now is the all up weight which is getting close to 14lbs (without the fuel). The wing loading is coming out to be around 36 oz/sq.ft. I will be using two ASP 0.52s with 11x6 props. Will have my fingers crossed on the test flight.
