Yeah, I've seen it done, but I still wanna be able to do loops and rolls with out ripping the wing off.

I threw the wing on tonight and flew the thing 3 channel to test out the brushless setup.
I think I found my new favorite plane!
It was sweet. It flys beautifully at half throttle, but jump up to full and it's all out crazy. The motor and prop is a perfect combo. The windows also look sweet when doing a flyby at about 5 feet off the ground so you can see all the way through the plane. Very cool effect.
The landing was super smooth too. I can't wait to finish it!

I know the angle of the motor is set from the motor mount on the fuse but what was your procedure to get the motor mount positioned correctly so it was centered in the cowling opening?

Since I used the bottom of the stock gear box, I could tell where the motor shaft should be. I just lined it up with the hole in the gear box where the old shaft used to run.

The mount I am using has a hole in the center that makes it easy to center it over the shaft hole in the SC black mount after removing the SC shaft support with my trusty Dremel. Thanks, swimmer |

Progress on the ailerons and flaps. Ailerons are 10'' X 2" Flaps are 6" X 2"   |

A month later here is the finished servo linkages. I cleaned everything up with some cardstock and tape to hide the servo wires. Each aileron has its own servo, and the flaps opperate off of one servo in the middle. Next up is to finish the bomb bay if I ever get some servos ordered!  |
