Today I finally decided on where my servos are going for the elevator and rudder. Im thinking of using nyrod for the push rods but I'm still not sure yet.

Had a maiden day , only was able to try one out, Barracuda is out of commission for now, more to follow I have to analyze the footage.So put my efforts after that to the Beaver and I usually end up putting vinyl on theses things after I have installed everything and say to myself " why didn't you do this first". So this time I did.

nice idea. I am thinking about making a mm zenith ch701 maybe. A mm storch might also be a really good idea.
I wanted to do a CH701 for this because it is such a great real plane and I was hoping it could pass on some attributes small scale, but I couldn't stand the looks of it so I used the AOA and Airfoil from the Zenith and made the WeedWacker. I think that the zenith would be a good competitor for the composition, I also think that the Storch is a great idea too, if you are going to do the Storch I would suggest modifying the FT Storch, it seems much simpler than putting together your own.
Well I got Covid and I can’t even build a tiny trainer 🙁
Opps I forgot to say I’m out hurts too much to even get out of bed
That really sucks! I hope you feel better soon enough to get your plane ready and vids made and edited.

That is one gorgeous plane! I hope it flies well.
