Default Hanger 9 Taylorcraft

On the control surfaces, I used Futaba 9202's on mine (55 oz.). No problems as of yet. This model is a real *****cat. What a great flyer !! I have my high-performance aircraft, but decided to fly this one at a more scale pace, so I figured the 9202's would suffice.

When I was assembling the model (last winter), I wanted to add more scale features to it. After digging around, I was able to contact the owner of the real aircraft (Harold Hanson). I talked to Harold many times last winter. Harold was nice enough to take pics of his plane, blow them up into 8x10's and mail them to me. He also supplied me with much written documentation to add more scale authentication.

I have created about 100 semi-scale parts/features to my model (complete interior roll cage. landing gear springs, three-point harness, gas cap and gas cap nacelle, venturi tube, wing fillets (Harold INSISTED I added these fillets), rudder trim wheel, interior door handles, etc.
