I started building tonight. I started with the fuselage.

I've aquired all the servos. I'm using a JR8411 on the rudder. JR4131 on the ailerons. And JR7005 for each elevator half. I don't know if the 4131 are metal gears or not.?? Anyone know??

I know the 7005 are nylon gears. I'm a bit concerned with using them in the tail. At 6volts-- each one of these servos should deliver about 75oz.in. I think this enough for each elevator half--it equivelant to a single 150oz.in servos for both halves. But I'm afraid that I'm misjudging the strain on the elevators in this plane. I might chicken-out and get 2 more 4131 or 8411 servos-- just to be on the safe side.

As for control arms and linkages--- I like Rocket City stuff. One of my close friends flies a lot of big gassers. He showed me the Rocket City stuff one day and I've been sold on it. I always use 4-40 ball-links on my servo arms and Rocket City on the control surfaces. It makes for a nice tight linkage without any slop.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm about 50% finished with framing the fuselage.
