Covering is pretty much complete. Should have the motor coming next week. Perhaps a maiden within the next week or two depending on free time and weather 8)

I like the clear. And the pattern you've come up with is original and it looks like you've done a clean job putting the panels together. Very nice, Bro.

Thanks guys! Not the cleanest up close. I didn't do the windex method to apply the top colors so there are some bubbles and I cut all the orange freehand so its not perfect. It will look great in the air though. Can't wait to get it flying!

Motor is coming Tuesday or Wednesday. Should have this bitch airborne next weekend if the weather allows. I need to decide on pushrods and clevis's. Probably won't go with ball links on this one but I can't decide what to use for clevis's...opinions are welcome. 4-40 rods are a good idea right? I got the dubro hd adjustable horns for .40-.90.

Yep, use the 4-40 & right on about the ball links too. No need for them. I like the Sullivan locking metal clevis with the little clip. Never had one fail.

Ok it has been a while since I have spent any time with the mojo and I have now gotten the hinges done and servos and linkages installed. Motor is ready to be mounted and I should be all set. The only concern I have at this point is that the horizontal stab is quite flexible. I don't know if I used the wrong wood on the leading edge or if the wood is just soft. I am thinking about adding some carbon fiber to reinforce it but I am unsure if it is normal for it to be flexible. If its normal I won't bother with the cf.

bendy=no breaky. Get it in the air. If you built per plans than don't worry about it.

Is it LEGAL for a Husker to cover in Longhorn colors?

Nice looking plane! You'll love it once you get it airborne! Be sure to check back in and give us a flight report!

I didn't say the Vols had dominated the Turdhusker I said the SEC dominates over all the other pussy conferences. What conference has won the last 4 out 5 last national Championship. What conference always has the most bowl invites. Yep that is right SEC. Oh and those 2 loses where in the fat phil area. I remember both very well. I seriously don't that NU could hang with them now.

Sounds like a cry for help. Do you need some? Seems like a lot of pent up anger in that post.
My bad, I guess I would have spouted something about the sec also if I were a vol fan as the vols don't have much to brag about. Just take a deep breath and it will be ok. :)

No cry here. We finally have a coach with some Dignity and a lot better record than lame Kiffin ever did. And the Vols do have something cause the played both of the #1 ranked teams down to the wire this past year and should have won both ball games if it weren't from ignorant play calling by a ignorant head coach. But oh well that is football and when you play in the best conference in the nation losses are going to happen. But I wouldn't expect a NU fan to understand that in such a weak conference where even Vandy could have a winning record. I went to college in Dodge City Kansas and know how those NU fans are it is really sad.
