Default Two Servos on a GP Spacewalker Elevator ??

Gordo-plast
I was going to put two servos in like you did but i figured i would still need weight in the tail so i went with the mod i did. I really wanted to do the pull-pull on the rudder but i was not able to pull it off.

I also put the 4-40 hardware on there to. just personal preference as i am not crazy about the metric hardware that comes with Arf kits.

As for the gear I just replaced it with a gear made by Bob Shatterloe that I picked up at the Toledo Expo last week. It is a beefed up gear with spring absorbers on it to take some real abuse on hard landings. let's just say the original gear did not cut the mustard. this new one looks like it will really do the trick!!!

The only problem I have now is the infamous ballooning some people talk about. I have lowered the wing dowel holes to change the incidence from +3 degrees to +1 degree. Test flight will be upcoming.
