I changed the Vert Stab on mine, and put a round cowl on the front, and made it look like a waay-off scale version of a Dehavilland Beaver. It's on floats, too. It gets off the water in 8 feet, with an OS.91 four-stroke. The Cowl is the bottom half of a big rubbermaid iced-tea pitcher from WalMArt. $3.
I DID use pull-pull linkages and separate Aileron Servos, and I changed the wing to bolt-on.
