Also latest on the build...well I messed up the canopy.....stayed up to late working I guess....Ordered a new one, hope it isnt a back order like the tail wheel........went to Dallas and got one yesterday. What to do about controll surfaces though ?

Also I know they tell you not to in the instructions, but I have seen people use ball links on the phenolic horns.

Thanks catman, from talking to Scott @ SWB and other folks on here, they strongly advise using ball links, if I have to move the servos then so be it.

Mounted the tail wheel today..wheeeewwww.....tough job, just about got every thing I need to really knock out alot of stuff on this baby, servo's will be here tommorrow and then its on.

Wife is acting funny....I think she looked at the bank account today......or least whats left of it..hahahaha.. More pics to come.

[eagle1]

you should not have to move the servos,

[Tex]

When I look at it real close, It looks like I wont, I'll know tommorrow for sure.

[eagle1]

are you going with clevises or balllinks?

[Tex]

Ball links, Thats what most every body is saying to do.

[Tex]

And because I keep getting pics of people all ready flying theirs, I'm feeling really left out, so what ever gets me in the air quicker is what I'm going to do

[eagle1]

not to make you feel bad or left out but....

[eagle1]

just kidding.
I just wanted to poke a little fun.
great choice on ball links, you will not use anything else imo.
you'll have it in the air before you know it.
good luck with the canopy, can he do one in carbon so you don't have to tint???
