Feel free to ask questions, i think the pictures are pretty self explanatory so not doing a big right up. Basically my copy of Andrew Newtons build, links to his videos below.
Plane $12.99: https://www.banggood.com/100cm-Wing...4.html?rmmds=myorder&ID=228&cur_warehouse=USA
3x 5g metal gear servos $6.39: https://www.banggood.com/PTK-7350-M...p-1524399.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
480mah nimh pack, similar to this $4 one: https://alofthobbies.com/4-8-v-350mah-1-3-aa-pack-flat.html
Double Wall pushrods for elevator: https://alofthobbies.com/d.html
Or just a carbon tube or straw with normal control rod would have worked as well.

Goop hinges:
- Flat stock carbon rods in wings and tail feathers, removed dihedral.
- Dual Elevators are connected similar to andrews with a bent C shape of flite test size control rod. I dripped some thin CA repeated down the rods to build up a good connection.
- 3mm'ish carbon tube nose to tail on the underside of the fuselage.
- I had some offcuts of Balsa aileron stock so i cut them to size and used Goop hinges (crazy strong). Full balsa was just way easier than trying to figure out how to make that thin epp rigid.
- 181g all up weight with 480 nimh pack. Stock plane is 121g.
- Assuming i will need ballast but left that alone for now. No lead needed for cg yet either.
