RE: Midwest Citabria - Build Thread

Sorry for the delay guys. I'm gettin' there. [:-]

I decided to use Hitec 225BB on each elevator half and the Hitec HS77BB low profile for the rudder. Had to cut out the former in the middle of the cockpit and build a tray to hold these 3 servos. I'm using 2-56 pushrods and bracing them at every former.

I wanted to use one of the base loaded antenna to simulate the scale location. It was too tall and didn't look anywhere NEAR scale when mounted on top of the turtle deck. I mounted it on a balsa block and buried half of it inside the airframe. Looks "sorta" scale now.
