Looking better! I would put adjustable collars on the rudder and nose wheel like you have on the throttle. You will most likely need to do a little tweeking. The plane is really coming along nicely Duane! clap.gif

Alright, first order of business.  Wrap the receiver and battery with foam.  :smile30:

Preferably enough to where they don't move. Changing cg would be a biatch! :smile26:

Good point.  I should've been more clear on that.    :smile16:

Speaking of CG.  Now that you have everything, how does it balance?  It should be slightly nose heavy without fuel.  You can check this by using your index finger tips and lift the airplane on the wing spar near the fuselage. 

:smile29:  Make sense?

I have been there twice since dragging all my RC stuff out. First time he was in a great mood, second time (last Thursday) he was an ass. At least Janet is still there to make it somewhat bearable.  :rolleyes:

Maybe the holidays put him in a shitty mood or something. :cheesy:

That's what I was thinking about the rod run. Last year I thought it was going to freeze. My 55 has a bad azz heater though! That's about all it has! think.gif
