OK done an hour or so tonight so far and apart from some issues with a poorly made twin pipe I have started work at the front!

Added around 26g of lead shot in a 30min epoxy/microballons mix to each canard to help achieve static balance to prevent flutter.

I have seen some installations of the canard servo set up and often though it was not ideal, probably just me being overly critical but nevertheless have decided to experiment with a twin servo option. It may not work in which case I will resort to the standard setup. Adding extra weight with another servo and the resulting matchbox is far outdone by the use of Lipo in the nose so don't foresee any issues on this front. The aim is to get a short 'straight' linkage without having to use ball joints at both ends of the linkages to take up the angles involved.

In the picture you can see the idea and proposed positioning.

Back to it later......
