 I flew it only a few times , and I have to tell you, it flew better then expectations , using small servos with boost tabs and the cooling fan ran flawlessly. But we have a tree that likes to stretch its limbs once in a while and usually when you are not paying attention. so you guessed it, it has gone to model heaven  Roger

Today, the weather sucks and had other things to do but I did manage to get into the shop, and get a bit of work done. A lot of what I have learned building the 34% will find its way in the 40%. For instance, the small guide wire retainers I made for the other airplane will find its way here since they work perfectly but this time I have made the adjustment part out of aluminum instead of brass, cutting crucial tail weight down. The cable I am using for the tail guide wires are of Kevlar (150 lbs) I also made the foam cutting templates for the wings. I was lazy on the photos today  Roger

Boost tabs are some sort of power assist but you can read about it here. It explains better then I could. http://www.geocities.com/roger_forgues/Boost-tabs.html Roger
