Hey Rock!

On the stock pull/pull rudder setup... looks like you're saying 3" full servo arm on the servos, and middle holes on the stock control horns on the rudder (which is a little over 3") and those rudder control horns are close to the rudder hinge line (did you put them right on the hinge line? or slightly offset one way or the other on purpose?)... and then the geometry will work our perfect? No slack or tension on the non pulling cable? I remember you did have that worked out exact on the last couple of planes of yours I assembled. I'm kinda assuming it will work out that way here.

Next I downloaded a template for the engine and transferred that over to the universal wood template AW includes with the plane. I then taped that on the motorbox while lining its alignment lines up with the alignment lines on the firewall. Then I drilled it out for the blind nuts.

After I put in the blindnuts from microfasteners.com I used ZAP thin CA on all the glue joints I could get to throughout the plane. I used to always get my ZAP glue directly from Frank Tiano of ZAP glues because it always came so fresh. Once when I got some CA from a hobby store it was so old that it could not glue two pieces of wood together (literally could not). My local hobby store says they get fresh glue in every week so I went ahead and got it locally this time.

I put the cowl on and the engine was nice and centered:

The H9 Sukhoi pilot is cool and comes included with that model. It weighs 7oz. I really like this AW pilot, and it weighs about half that at 3.8oz. Although it does not have a face, poor thing. haha

I can't quite tell from the picture, is the pilot foam or plastic?
