Well then... Pancho,

Guanajuato is a beautiful state and the capital more so - I used to play Rugby there often years ago. I've never been to Leon though... one day. Good flying weather almost all the time I imagine.

I look forward to your pictures. The roomy interior allows for various options. I chose outboard aileron servos, mostly because I prefer them but also to leave me an empty radio bay area. I intend to mount my elevator servo on its side in the rear (I did this on my 20 size AT-6 for fun - see picture), rudder servo centered in front of that with P-P and probably the throttle servo beside it with RX and BTY toward the front. How do you think she'll balance with that setup? The plans recommend the BTY mounted closer to the CG.

For power I'll be going a little lower on the HP range with a 25 year old ST S40. If it needs more pull, I may consider an OS or YS 45 (just a matter of finding one!) with a pipe (maybe overkill).
