Ok so some news:

1. I had gone back and forth on power sources. Yes this plane rocks but I want to keep it light and not dump a lot of money into it. I would rather put that towards 40% projects

I found a NIB 3W75 local with a composite 26x10 prop, mounting plate, muffler, drill guide, ignition for $500
I am also looking at a cannister setup online for sale for like $100.

So $600 into the motor and exhaust.

2. Going with A123 cells on this plane.

3. Might just do a single servo per wing - not sure

Unless I get a builder lined up it will probably not be finished until I get back from out of town. So if its before X mas I will be lucky.
