Hi David,

I understand better now on the motor thing.

Those photos are the original with fixed gear. For the retract one, I framed up the tail last week, and tonight I'm starting the wings. Got the LE form hot-wired, laminated the gear mounts, and just came in from ripping some 1/4 x 1/8 spars. Tonight I should have the wings framed. Laser cutting is SUCH a time saver! The LE wood won't be in until next week so I will probably start the fuse while I wait.

But this is YOUR thread, I don't want to hijack it.

I think your Deception deserves better servos than Hitecs. My GS has HS-55's throughout, and one of the first things we all noticed is how "mushy" the plane feels. This second one is getting JR's on the control surfaces. The retracts will be Spektrum DSP-75's.
