HI DKM,
Did you get any pictures? I'd love to see that big bird in the air.
I just got the plans from RCM the other day. The plans and instructions were very good but I was a little disappointed there was no provision for retracts. I don't like their single throttle servo setup either. The plans were drawn 25 years ago. I guess things have changed. I'm going to stick to the 40 sized plane and add retracts if they'll fit. Please keep the posts and pictures coming.
Jim
