Has anybody just used two servos on the bottom wing and used carbon-fiber rods to connect bottom ailerons to the top ailerons? Please assist if so ... I've been racking my brain. All the things I've come up with haven't worked correctly. If you have pictures, please send. I'll be taking the wings off for transporting. HELP!

Thanks.

Sure have in mine Used 40-40 rods. Just cut down a control horn to connect the two ends. Used a clevise on one end and a ball on the other. Works great. I just could not stand those wires hanging down between the wings.I'll check for pics and post what I find.-Mike

I have a Moki 1.8 in mine and it flys great. Lots of guys think this is just not enough power. I have a problem with vibration caused by gas burners. If you check the Gaint Scale C.E post you find theres a problem with the brackets cracking ect. I my opion those big gas burners are vibrating those planes apart. Mine balanced in the center of the CG range with no weight. As far as ground handling you need to hold rudder but thats it. Landings , well this thing does not slow down. I've learned to get off the power early and try to stay off the elevator. Its not hard to master just different. I'm sure you'll love it sure looks good in the air.-Mike
