YS .91AC & Slimline Pitts muffler. Stock fuel tank on the CG. Shifted the throttle servo to the rear end of the radio compartment. Five coreless FMA servos used - three in the tail, with the metal-geared one on the rudder. Sullivan tailwheel instead of the stock assembly. 2-56 CF pushrods and Rocket City ball links on all surfaces.

My kit made its long trip and arrived with no damage to the wing. The covering was a bit wrinkly in places, but nothing that a blast from the trusty heat couldn't fix.

Stayed up all night Saturday finishing it. Hit the sack & caught some Z's @ 7AM, then to the field forthwith.

Fueled up, fired up. The engine ran *pefectly* on my usual YS mix of 30% nitro 20% oil.

Wups! Spoilerons are reversed - up is down, down is up. Shut down, pulled the wing off, swapped the aileron servo connectors, reinstalled the wing.

Fired up and took off.

Total flight time? 9 seconds.

***?

Oh.

Reversed ailerons.

(With a 10X and flaperons you have to make sure that (A) the L and R aileron servos are plugged into the correct rx port, and (B) that they are wiggling in the appropriate direction.

The new kit is on order.

Oach.............
