Did you run the control rod tubing and cut the exit holes and then check CG, than remove and add servos to rear? It looks like the servos are located where the original exit locations were...
Adrian did nto ellaborate on how he modded the airlons...what is involved and what extra balsa will I need?
chemie,
I had a pretty good idea from the get go that I would need tail weight. But you really don't have to be too far in the build to get your engine mounted and have a rough idea if you will need it. Battery is easy enough to shift up front if you want to put servos back there. I only needed 1/4 oz of lead in the left wingtip for lateral balance. I used equipment placement to attain my CG (which is about 1/2 behind main spar, BTW)
As far as ailerons, if I were to do it again, I would simply cut off the wing root, and extend the ailerons the suffiecent length. If I recall correctly, the ailerons are built up in this kit, and not aileron stock. You might even consider using the wing root you cut out and modify it as an aileron. It's only balsa, get creative!
