sorry i didnt take build pictures. i recently decided i wanted to make a small area flyer. i just chose the 109 as it was pretty simple. i wasnt going for complete scale realisim i just wanted it to be simmilar. i want to do A/E/T controls but i dont know if i should do full length ailerons or "scale" size ailerons. if i did it the scale route i would have to use torque rods and that might be heavy. i might be able to do pull-pull ailerons but that gets complicated. i also dont know about the wing area, should i add more to the TE? the airframe weigh 40g currently, i still have a bit more painting to do.
here is what i plan on using.

GWS LPS motor+gearbox
GWS pico servos(possibly remove casing)
GWS 4ch reciver
GWS 2 amp esc
2 cell 300mah lipo

any comments or suggestions are greatly appriciated

current...i didnt go off any plans...just eyeballed everything. lol.

Uh-Oh. Wrong tail markings.
Nice looking plane.

just waiting on electronics.

well she is pretty much done. i am using pull-pull for the ailerons. i have used this system on the fantastic models at-6 and it worked awsome, but, i used it on this and they did not work out. they would only move down, they would not go up. everything was hooked up so one side would go down and the other up but they just couldnt move up. i have tried an tried to get it to work but i cannot get it. anybody got any ideas? torque rods would have to be long and would be heavy but i dont know. any help wpuld be nice.

I agree that swastika should go but its really up to u.

Will you be painting the model? any ideas in which colors?

i will get some pics. i know how some people feel about it(swastika) but i feel that it is part of history for this plane and that it should be there. i mean it is really a good sybol, many socities have used it for differand but good things. i do know what happend and it is a tragety, but ignorance is not bliss. i know that some things may have come out wrong but i can assure you that I DO NOT SUPPORT NAZIISIM(if that is what you call it)! i fell that it was/ is wrong in my opinion. sorry for my spelling. lol.


but does anybody have any ideas for the ailerons? i will put some pics up here in a bit.

Go with full span ailerons they are more forgiving at slow speed landings.

Is the aileron area your confused about?

How about posting some specs of the model like wing span/area/fuse lenth...

i might have to switch to full length ailerons...the WS is 23'' and it is 21.75'' long.
