Nice, I like your color scheme and trim job.
What model is that?

I like your trim scheme a lot. Nice job!

Gotta' ask though, why did you mount the aileron servo on top of the wing? Or do you have it on upside down for the picture?

nice trainer, this is a good trainer to iniciate in aerobatic cause doesnt have a wing angle.
I didnt understand the servo on the top of thw wing! thats why i just love my pt-40 trainer, is just perfect in all of these aspects....

Looks to be a S.P.A.D. version of an LT40. That would explain why the servo is on top, torque rods, Idont think, would be practical on this bird IMHO.

It's a Spadet

http://www.spadtothebone.com
or directly to the Spadet:
http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/Spadet/

Quote taking from spadtothebone:
Kraut's masterpiece easily equals balsa wood trainers in looks, wing loading, and performance at a fraction of the cost and many times the survivability! Slightly more complex than the basic gutter pipe Spad, but the returns are well worth the effort! Uses 2mm & 4mm Coroplast and American pipe. Four Channels (Aileron, Elevator, Rudder and Throttle).

it is a spadet. i just wanted to see if anyone would figure it out. i have not flown this plane but according to others it flies great. that is why the servo is on top. spad are mostly like that.

Real nice job dude. I like it. Only suggestion I would add is to close in the wing tips. It would look better and should fly better. As I said great job!

covering the tips would reduce alot of turbulance at the tip like you said, it would fly better and look better as a result.
