Wing mostly finished. Working on the ailerons now. Going with HS-65’s all around to save a couple of ounces on the Mojo25.

Mojo is looking good. If you don’t already have the servos then think about just using the tower pro 9grams. Way cheaper and are lighter too. I have used them in planes this size before with no problems. Stripped a couple on rudders but that’s do to cart wheeling the planes.

Thx! Good info to know on the alternate servos. I do have some HS-65’s lying around looking for a home. The HS-85’s seem to be overkill on this w electric, can’t speak for glow.

Yeah I was going to suggest some of the power HD servos I’m running in my 35” Cap I’m flying but they seem to not be sold anymore.

I allowed the wife to use my hobby room for Christmas tubs while she was setting up for Christmas... so that took me out of any work for a while. Now there are enough tubs put back away that I can work again, finally! This weekend, I will finish stripping the adhesive part of some really old covering from my buddy’s 20cc Pitts. I am heating it up with the heat gun and using packing tape to get it off. It is about the 4th technique I’ve tried and is working by far the best. I should have heated up the covering before trying to it off in the first place... that would have saved me ALL this headache.

But, I do have this ready to start as soon as those wings are done! I am not super impressed with the Uproar’s flying characteristics. I thought it would be way more “Uproar”ish... so I will be taking all the “guts” out of that and putting them in this!
