Trumanmc:
I totally agree about the hardware. I've been replacing most of the hardware for stronger or better fitting items. The build manual is a bit vague especially with the support cabels and the pushrods. Can you post up some pictures of your finished model in particulatr your rudder linkage and the elevatore linkage. Ialso have noticed that the fuel tank supports dont line up correctly. There were no pre drilled holes in the fuselodge and the holesin the supports are abot 1-1 1/5 inches below the nearest wood. Not sure what they were tiniking but they got that wrong.
