Here are the mods I made to my original Escape's

1-Install 2-1/2 inch spinner and contour nose to match. Original is 2-1/4.

2- 2 degrees of down thrust, about.

2-Raise F-2 at the wing L.E. 3/8-1/2 inch. These two items make the bottom of the plane look flatter.

3-Lower the rudder hinge post 5/8 inch. Requires additional fuse side splice.

4-Extend the front of the bottom dorsal fin so its starts directly below the fin leading edge where it attaches at the fuse.

5-Build the stab straight, install so the stab T.E. centerline is centered on the fuse height at the rudder hinge line.

6- Bottom of the rudder, make parallel with fuse top.

7- Remove counterbalance from rudder and install to fin cap to overhang rudder. 1/2 inch tall.

I have some pictures of the original, I need to have them scanned to be able to post. I'll see if I can get that done.
