<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: x-small">wow... a pointy-head pilot. that's your double wammy, alright.i meant no disrespect, either. just usually the pilots and engineers that think they know too much and the rest of us don't. BUT ANYHOO...back to the aileron thing.i thought about the low profile servos for the ailerons, but looking at the thickness of the ribs at the thickest area is still pretty small. right around 3/4 at the thickest of the wing.the servos, i think, are 3/4 or so of an inch thick. i'm not sure if they make mini servos with enough torque for this application or plane. especially if i'm going to be throwing it around like a bat out of hell someday. i'd like at least the same amount as the standard 3004's.

i have some pic's of the cowl after sanding the **** out of it to get rid of the step on the top and bottom where the joiner seam was, but my stupid camera died before i could get the pics on my computer. won't work with it plugged into the port with a dead battery. leave it to nikon to think of some crap like that. you have to take the battery out to charge it too. they'll be here tomorrow. need to do some sanding and putty filling on it still, but it's primed to start with.</span></span>
