Hi Guys,
Just finishing up CMP ZERO, moved all servos from rear to over wing area. Put rudder and tail wheel on pull-pull and each elevator on separate servo. Used a set of H-9 retracts from Giant P-47 with a sleeve over struts and 3/16 wire down the middle for extra strength. ( Total cost with servos $200.00 ) Took out the standard rails and made new ones out of maple and used Gorrilla glue as recommended. Have a US-41 for power. It looks like all up weight is 17lbs. with no additional weight necessary in nose. I hope power is enough. Engine swings a 18-10 prop at 6800 RPM. Didn't use the box up front, made some stand offs. Made wing a one piece, I don't mind transporting and like the extra strength. I should be done in about 2 weeks, any additional help would be appreciated. Really like the finish on this bird. They should fire the guy that wrote the manual.
many thanks,
Geo.
