Hello all,


Has anyone built this plane?

I need some info on this plane for a buddy of mine that is trying to build this. I need to know if this plane has a servo mounted in the wing?

And also what types of pushrods does he use or need for this?

MAy have more questions later.

THANK you very much,

I have one that I purchased built....AWESOME plane. No bad habits and a good clean flyer. It was built using two servos one in each wing panel and is the way to go......I think the plans call out for one in the center with torque rods.....not nearly as good. Sullivan golden rods were used for pushrods and worked wonderfully. I power ours (my son and I) with a ST 40 with an 11-5 prop and have unlimited vertical. Great plane, a real sleeper in the R/C world if you ask me...This guy snaps, spins, horizion to horizion knife edge with limited rudder coupling inverted with just a touch of elevator....yet lands like a trainer
Finish and enjoy this plane !!

Brian,

Well his plans that he has does not show servo installation at all. Can you send me a diagram of how you have your servos set up or something. He has one plan sheet and a 9 page booklet for a manual that I think isn't worth the paper or the ink as it does not have much detailed info like the G/P and stuff do.

Thanks,
