The CARF-Models 330SC seems to have awesome aileron authority. The aileron throw for snaps is 10% lower than all my previous planes. Last weekend I was showing another pilot how the snap on my 122" 330SC stopped the instant I brought the sticks back to neutral.

It is a BLAST to fly!!

It has EXTREMELY positive steering.

All my other setups required going to high rate rudder for taxiing. This one only needs low rate rudder. I had no problem in a 10 mph cross wind on an asphalt runway.

Ha ha it should be ready in about 2 weeks! I will take tonnes of pics promise! I haven't explained the back-story, but basically a friend of mine is generously building this plane for me. All handy work credits go to Richo

In the meantime, here are a few of the canopy and aileron servo hatch...
