What To Do About Teflon Coming Off of Flex Portion of Header
Hey Ben, I solved my header from slipping off the Teflon by adding two extra clamps. That did the trick and was cheap as I had the clamps from previous "altercations with terra firma"!!- Dirt Doctor

A couple of questions on servos
FYI Futaba servos use a 3 x 8mm in case you want to order some for your Futaba servos. The first thing that I do is remove the Phillips head screw and replace it with the hex head cap screw. I also use a Star washer under the cap screw.- Dirt Doctor

Gasser Throttle Servo, What Do You Like?
I may be different but I use the same servo for throttle as that for my flying surfaces - in my plane that means a Futaba BLS 172HV SBus servo! I also leave the throttle return spring hooked up. I have not been able to see a discernible difference in amp/volt draw with or without that spring...- Dirt Doctor

Looks great Cam. I would suspect that you need about 2.5-3.0 degrees of right thrust IF it's not already built into the firewall!!- Dirt Doctor

I had my ceiling put in with 1/8" paneling and it sags pretty bad. If I had to do it over I would have used 3/8" plywood!- Dirt Doctor

I also use the Formula 56 (I think that is what it is called) than I have had for some time! RE: cutting the ailerons. I usually mark up the top side of the aileron cutouts using a heavy dark pencil or pen on the wood itself. But be sure to mark the side with the aileron TOWARD the bandsaw...- Dirt Doctor
