Putting a servo upside down is going to be very difficult to access through the cockpit.

The only person who can tell us if there were flutter problems is Peter Barth.

I think 1/8 tubing would be too thick for 1/4 scale. Do you know what the diameter of the full size fuel lines is?

RE: WACO YMF

Can you explain the "voltage supply is by the rigging wires". Do you mean that the rigging wires are actually carrying current.

Some pics of my centre wing with fuel tank detail.

Going to prime the parts with the covering and then a light sand and it's all ready for final coat.
