It has been a long time since my original post but the day has arrived for me to restart this project.  I bought the model part started by Wolfgang in Germany,  he had a bit of work done and the wings joined.  I asked would he take a saw to the winga and post it to Ireland.  Thankfully he did and so my journey begins. It has sat in the workshop for the last few years but about 2 months ago, I picked up ankit and thought I better finish this one.wings are now rejoined and filler applied to all the surfaces.

I have been working away over the last few weeks. The model is covered and I have the servos mounted and connected to the control surfaces. A bit of searching online has lead me to use the following setup to begin with.

: Flap:

down: 12 mm
, up: 10 mm;

Ailerons: flaps mixed in:

down: 12 mm, down
: 5 mm, up: 16 mm, down: 6 mm; Elevator

:

down
: 12 mm, up: 12 mm.

CG, decoration and radio setup is all that is left. Should be out soon.
