Greg,
Are you using a computer radio with some degree of programming or mixing function? Will your be the electric-powered version?

I used a 9CAP for mine with the standard 9 channel receiver, but any 7 or more channel receiver is best suited for the Cularis to take advantage of the "full-house" controls. This way you can setup one servo per channel and program the controls. Obviously you need to work with what you've got!

Also, I built mine exactly per directions and I can tell you the wings have never worked themselves loose. On the contrary - they are probably a little too hard to separate, but I can live with that. I think the Cularis is an excellent sailplane for someone who want a "no surprises" saiplane with very stable handling characteristics. Go Elapor!

Good luck!
Matt
