    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    For reference here are my high rate surface throws (I fly IMAC style, not 3D but you'll get the point): Ailerons: 12 degrees up/down Elevator: 15 degrees up, 10 degrees down Rudder: 30 degrees left/right (I only use this throw for hammerheads really)

    New Paint Gun advice needed

    I have a Fuji HVLP system and I love it. It's probably more woodworking focused system, but it does a fantastice job with automotive paints and is incredibly easy to use, and is a full system rather than just a gun. http://www.fujispray.com/ I have the Mini-Mite 4 system.

    My scoop is open, and telemetry tells me I'm fine (Jeti is AWESOME....you must shroud engine on this plane or air flow around the engine...not through it as there is so much free area inside the cowl). I think you should plug the scoop so air does not flow into it...as that air intake is useless...

    I don't recall the tail wheel support piece...but I didn't build mine that way. I used a piece of 1/4" ply and nestled it in between the ply fuse sides...it runs from the rear tip of the fuse up to the last former.

    As the 26% is essentially a direct scale version of the 35% from what I understand...should be similar characteristics.

    Hey @Maxwell1945 ....I'm thinking of moving my main gear forward an inch or 2.... mine seems a little light in it's tailfeathers when there isn't a lot of airspeed. What are your thoughts? Thought I should throw this out for discussion before @stangflyer gets to that stage...
