Now that it looks like I have my paparazzi hardware ready to get loaded on to a plane, I was curious if anyone has put the system into a rudder/elevator plane? I am looking at possibly putting it onto a slow stick and wanted to know if anyone has a base file for a rudder/elevator plane I can take a peek at.

a slowstick would be a great plane for a first AP setup i was considering it myself for my tiny. they can get flight times of and hour or more easily and are very light so crash damage is minimal. they can move at fast walking pace and fly anywhere. only downside is wind. i have flown my slowstick in tons of wind but it takes some skill. i also had a foam cut core wing and a balsa wing which really helps over the draggy stock wing in more wind. its cheap and easy too :)
