Shane:

Got a few minutes.

The manual calls for 8 servos, I used 7. I only used one for the elevator.

The vertical stabs have room for 2 servos each. I put the rudder servos in the lower positions and the elevator in the upper on one of the tails. The normal connectors on a servo should make it all the way out the bottom of each vertical stab. They will go in the holes on the top of the wing. Here is where you will need 3 12" extensions (4 of you use two servos for the elevator). If you use shorter, you will have trouble making it through the wing to the fuselage. Make sure to mark them, because the will travel the same path as the aileron connectors. I used 6" extensions on the ailerons to get to the fuselage.

In the fuselage, you will need a Y for the ailerons, one for the rudders, and depending on where you locate your receiver, another extension for the elevator or a Y if you put two servos to the elevator.

I always put a short extension in my receiver, so it is easier to connect a Y to the receiver.

You will need another Y for the Y that you used for the rudder servos which will join your nose wheel servo going to your receiver.

This bird is tough to connect at the field, so I transport it assembed. I have a mini van, and plenty of room for it another plane, my tool box and my radio plus supplies.


If you need any other help, let me know, just go slow, this bird is odd.
