Hey all! This is my first build thread. I am not new to building and I have built a number of kits and arfs. My goal with this plane is to build a strong hairy plane. I will be throwing it around like a lunatic but I also want it light and I still want it somewhat scale in lines.

We have another member in our club building an ultimate so I figured I would build mine now and help him along.

I am going with the OS 120AX and Slimline Q-Series compact pitts. I want to tail mount the elevator servos.



Mods I’m considering:

Cf reinforced stab.
Harry Higgly cabain mod & top wing bolt method.
I’m a little apprehensive of the cabane mod as it requires the cabains to be mounted to the outside of the fuselage. It is VERY strong but takes from the scale look.
Enlarged ailerons by 20-30%.


Any other mods that people have done is very much welcomed and thank you to those who help!!

This build will probably be slow as it is still summer and I'm out flying a lot.
