Default RE: Will changing the fuselage from square to round effect it's handling?

Thanks guys,

Those are the answers i was hoping. I was planing on using just standard servos, maybe BB MG type. I'll have a servo for each control surface on the wing, so a total of four. I am thinking one for the rudder and one for the elevator which will be mounted in the tail section. The front half of the fuse will be sheeted and the rear half stringers, probably 3/16" sq. 1/8" seems to small and 1/4" too big. As for the wing saddle i am using the original boxed fuselage formers and sides and not going to use all the big pieces that have to be carved to shape. The wing mounting will be stock SS and the round fuse built around it with formers. What size balsa do you think the formers and sheeting should be. Any other suggestions that might be helpful?

I was planning to post some pics of the mods done in the kit builders forum.
