I still have my plans in storage and unfortunately don't have easy access to them. From what I remember there wasn't much to the design - it's a very straight forward and easy build. Just study the...

I've gone to using HS-65HB servos for 1/2A after having HS-55 servos fail. I find the weight difference minimal on a 1/2A ship, but knowing I won't have a failure is worth the little weight gain...
