    Yes, very much! My buddies at the flying field (all easily impressed, you see, hehe) say "you fly freestyle pretty good with those IMAC planes, I wonder what you can do with a freestyle plane?" I wonder myself. haha I have a new maneuver, I'm hoping the plane does it well! :sneaky:

    I'm going with the stock tailwheel, too:

    I used the stock axles... how'd you bolt them on @Spats ? I ended up putting the axle in a vise:

    So stabs and wings RTF, and got the fuse on the gear:

    Finished up the stabs once I got done trying to figure out the troubles with the 7018sb:

    Agreed on all counts! Futaba 7018sb exposed! Basically, shame on Futaba...

    Definitely a lot of options for getting power to the servos these days, and in the old days. I've always wanted to make sure my servos were not starved for power. Today's servos draw even more power than yesterday's servos. I've always thought we'd get lower prices from servo manufacturers if...

    I've seen one radio rep state that power distribution units do nothing and are a waste. That's he's tried them and feels no difference. I ran tests on this way way back in the day and saw a massive difference. 4volt drop vs 1volt drop to my elevator servos in my Carden. Been meaning to setup...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Yeah, from there I went to the 5955s... hell of a servo... and introduced gears that never wore out. Last plane I had before I took a break was outfitted with 8711s... best feel of any servo back then. I had two on the ailerons and 3 on the rudder back then on 122" planes. But then and now still...

    Now, it seems the planes are looked at as more disposable... just get 'er done! :gnashing:

    Thanks, I really took my time on my Yak:

    I hear ya'... and I have accepted two per aileron and rudder... that wasn't easy coming off of running 5 back in the day. Here's a shot of my Votec: :epic:

    This is what most people are telling me. And, I did run just one 9380 on each elevator half on the AW 122" Yak55m... and had it out on the 1-3/4" hole location on a 2" arm. And, it was solid while flying. But, I'm having a hard time with this still. haha I just feel a lot more comfortable...

    Still way impressed with the Hitec brushless servos. Here I'm running them on one Fromeco Lith-ion pack through a Futaba 7018sb RX.

    There's a lot of good glues out there... for me I've always trusted ZAP... you can get it at microfasteners.com now, too.

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    @Spats is going to say, "I told you so" again. haha But, I'm going pull/pull. I can change it out to push/pull later if I need to. I'm going with four elevator servos and I like my planes to be pretty neutral... so we'll see how the pull/pull works out. Also, seems like when I use these tuned...

    I hear ya', brother! I might fly some IMAC events next year with Jason Benson and Joe McBride, but yeah, probably not with this plane. Maybe my Sukhoi, though. :) Why I like having all four (or sometimes all six) aileron servos traveling the exact same distance off center to move the aileron...
