Thanks Mesa....I also read the triangle stock suggestion and have it on hand. I did not realize it would make the control horns off but that makes sense since you are adding 1/4" extra.

For your SSE, are you going stock rudder or adding 1/2-1" extra; I have posed the question [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8264585/tm.htm]in the kit forum.[/link]?
Yea, the tri-stock works great.
I am building mine stock. I thought about making both the rudder and the elevators larger and/or with counter balances. Decided against both ideas after reading a few of the build threads here. I am just not a good enough pilot (yet) to be able to put the extra "lengths" to good use. I had a Hanger 9 Pulse 40 as my second plane. It was just a blast to fly. I was just getting pretty good with it when I lost it due to battery failure. So the SSE is the replacement for the Pulse, and it seems that most guys have a lot of fun with it stock.
I am going to try my hand at installing a pull-pull on the rudder, if for nothing else, the experience at installing a pull-pull system.

I would guess that you already know this, but building with Titebond instead of CA takes a little longer. In my case, I don't mind, because I like the building part. Of course, if you have the room and are not easily confused, you can build all of the separate pieces (wings, elevator, ruder/fin, etc.) at the same time.
