Those are fancy pants wheels
Torn between the new skywalker and this... Are the tail boom connections to the wing strong? Much waggling?

have you found a good way of mounting the RC RX antenna?
clearly out on the wing or back on the tail would be best ... but i haven't figured out how to do that if I want to be able to transport it with wing and tail detached from the body.
Any ideas?

Move it back some and you'll notice a difference. I was almost at the servo wire before I lost the other bird in a flyaway.

From you, yeah. But from China? Finland is not much farther from China than Australia. The US are almost double as far from China than FIN is...

Hey guys, How does this look for a nose gear? It is fairly priced and looks sturdy. The only concern is how do we mount it and we need a main gear that is the same size to keep the plane level on the ground.

Have to reduce elevator throws when you move the CG back. 70mm is severely nose heavy
and inefficient.
