Default RE: Tiger Moth, scratch build, 1.5m span

I thought I'd add a few more things. My intent is to power this bird with a suitable four stroke nitro engine. I'm not sure if a .90 will be too big or not. Colour scheme will most likely be that of the Swedish airforce from when the moth was used as a trainer. I hope there's a museum airplane around here somewhere for me to take photos of.

Yeah. I'm swedish. I blame any and all mistakes on terms and spelling on that simple fact

Also, if anyone has built a moth before this size, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to implement the same control system for the ailerons as on a full scale. As far as I can tell the full scale plane has a system with cables running inside the wing to actuate the ailerons with the wing having a short pushrod out to the control surface. I'm thinking about simply dropping a servo in each wings and if there are any visible wires that would have been used for this purpose to just model them as dummies to complete the look.
