Most definately 2 aileron servos. I have 3 985 new in the pack left from a previous build. I'll probably put them on the elevators and rudder (coreless...) I also have a 5625 kickin around so I'll buy another 5625 for the ailerons and put them all on 4.8v. overkill yes but I have most of them already...

More progress... I beefed up the tabs on the plywood wing ribs as fallingleaf did. I did some lightening... The inital weight of the original plywood was 30 grams. The weight of the new 1/16 aircraft grade ply and cut out pieces was 80 grams not including epoxy, ya WOW & very noticable in the hands.

Final weight is 60 grams. It may only be 20 grams but it all adds up. With my gp extra 300s I manged to remove almost 1/2 lb from the airframe alone. I'm not going to worry too much about removing weight with this plane as the ultimate flies better with a bit of weight behind it. I'm hoping for 8lbs. My buddy in vernon has one at 8lbs with a [X(]YS140[X(] in it. It is awsome!


In hindsight, it would be better to build these with a lamination of 3 layers of 1/16 aircraft grade ply rather than laminating onto the existing 1/8" ply. It becomes too wide and adds diffculty if you want to hide the tabs inside the struts.
