sweet rmenke. thats a ton of info. this plane is just a u can do 60 from great planes. it's just something to throw around and see if i can break a surface off now and then...lol. so far she's staying together for me. i've only got like twenty flights on it and have been going pretty easy so far . i've been snap rolling her quite a bit lately though (throttle off) and it's a riot to watch. this thing is pretty big. i'm getting ready to try some inverted flat spins to see if it'll do it without exploding in mid air. i've been practicing on the flight sim and can do it pretty easily with the yak 54. man, that downline full left aileron move to get the thing wound up is pretty radical...i hope the thing doesnt evaporate on me...jeeez! shouldnt have to rotate too many times to get it to do what i want anyways but we'll see.

i've got a 90 scale cmpro extra 330s coming and will take a close look at the alignment of the wing and stab before i finalize anything on it to make sure things are where they're supposed to be. i like your idea of the lazer allignment technique. sounds pretty cool. i might have to try that one when i'm putting it together. a fellow at our field flies a 300 (58 inch span) and it acts like it's on rails. his is sort of nose heavy too and it still flies straight and true. cant wait to get this one and start practicing the basic sequence. someday, i'd like to hook up with the imac boys and see how i can do. those guys are awesome! do you fly imac?

hey thanks again for the info. i have to go check the potatoes on the grill ( off topic ) . happy flying
