David,

Thanks for the compliment. Having built a few electrics, and needing to pay particular attention to weight with those planes, tight joints and minimal glue have nearly become a habit.

Gremlin,

What a cool color scheme on that Banshee of yours!

It’s nearly a negative of its’ self!

I have gone with the barn door ailerons. Although I won’t have anything to compare it to, I’m confident that they will work out fine. Jim Martin’s original had the barn doors, and I suspect that the strips were just a matter of ease of assembly, and, cost for the production J&J kit.

Evan,

Yup, that last sentence drives home the point. Not a lot of feedback to the servo from the nosewheel when properly set up. I really didn’t want to put a MG servo on the rudder; just trying to out-think myself……

A correctly laid out pushrod system should be sufficient.

Thanks.
