Awesome! How’s the A-10 going?

Downloaded the plans, will get them down to Staples to print for me, I hate tiling . I am in limbo right now on the Extreme until my motor and servos show up but I also started the BETA version of a SR-71 through Parkflyers International which I am part of.

Mine has lots of rudder authority lol. My elevator rod flexes so I don't get too much throw, but it is just enough to where the plane is fun

I have my plans all ready to go. Now I have to choose between using my motor for a cnc cutter or the Stick. Hard choices.

So far it's definitely one of the cleanest builds I've ever done

Were you trying to do a crankshaft?

A super big slow turn

Do you think a few bbq skewers at the wing root would fix the issue?
