I have Hitec HS-81 servos, I guess I will use them, but I would have preferred to use the Futaba. I just figured with the modifications of the fully-sheeted plane it would be best with Futaba.
Fuselage is going to be 24 1/4" length built entirely of 1/8" sheet balsa, including formers. Stab and rudder will be 3/16" sheet balsa.
Wing span is 35" and 6 1/4" wide and will be mostly sheeted.
Will weight about the same as the Chea-Pass, and that recommends a .10 engine. I believe the 450 will be enough.
After much consideration and the responses I have gotten here I have reconsidered the thicknesses of the fuselage frame, rudder and stab. To keep the frame lighter I have decided to . . .
Build the fuselage framework and formers with 3/32" sheeting instead of 1/8", but will keep the fuselage top 1/8" sheet to blend in with the stab.
Build the stab, fin, elevator and rudder with 1/8" sheeting instead of the 3/16".
