Default Instruction for Hangar 9 Edge 540 (1.20)

I am having my H9 Edge 540 built by a friend. What I and he decided to do was mount 2 elevator servos (Hitec 5645 Digital servos) in the rear like a real giant scale plane would have.

We used Du-bro hardware everywhere and there super heavy duty arms to boot. For rudder I am leaving the set-up stock and using a Hitec 5945 Digital Coreless servo for power.

My motor is a Moki 180 (30cc) and should be a good 2:1 power ratio for some 3d flying.

The plane is getting close to completion and when I get it back I will be sure to post many pictures...

Questions I have:

1) Did anyone have trouble drilling the wing mounting holes for the wings onto the fusealage like in picture 2???

2) Wing, does any of your wings have what looks like anhedral? To test this get a piece of string and tape it on the middle of the leading edge at the end of each side of the wing. The string should run strait across the wing, if it doesnt then you have anhedral.

3) Flying characteristics, how are the 3d characteristics of this plane... i.g. harriers, hovers, torque rolls, blenders, pop-ups, knife edge (authority?) and so on
