Well, here's the latest update. I have had an awsome time with this plane except for the engine. I am sending the OS 91FX back to get looked at. the needle valve is super sensitive and Hobby Services asked for me to send it in.

About the plane. I put a sulivan tail wheel on the back because the original one had some play and was tearing up the rudder. The sulivan is spring loaded to help soften up the force to the rudder on landings and also it put less stress on the rudder servo because it doesn't take as much force to turn the sulivan.

I moved the CG back to 6" by cutting an access panel about an inch forward of the tail mounted servos and putting the battery pack inside. The palne flys even better than before. It hovers with less power and doesn't have as much of a tendancy to fall out as easy.

I also upgraded all controls to 4-40 rods with dubro metal clevises.

I would strongly suggest to anyone to beef up the landing gear bay. I ripped out the mounting block 3 times and I am still trying to find a way to get it to stop.

next prodject is to mount the rudder servo on the bottom of the fuse and install a pull-pull sys for the rudder.
