Those pictures are awsome Jim! What a great shot of how you did the tail wheel too, simple strong and it works! lol I see what you mean about the larger than usual control horns. That rudder horn is a piece of work! Jim as always, thanks so much for taking the time to help out, Much appreciated!

Sorry that I asked you to post the pictures, and now I'm not going to use the steering mechanism . I din't realize how well it could steer. Later on, if I decide to use it, this will definetly be the setup I use.

I really like the look of invasion stripes on a plane too!

The strips look awsome Jim. I've found that most new pilots have a very nice trainer type airplane but some of them are so hard to orient even for an experienced pilot. They seldom want to change the looks of their nice new plane by adding colourful stripes that would help them to see the plane so much better even though they can take the stripes off once they have the hang of the basics of flying. Perhaps this is another great advantage of SPADS. There usually colourful to start with and after all its an inexpensive plastic airplane so who cares about a few extra strips AND the advantages are obvious. I think thats a terriffic idea Jim to help your young lad!

Was just wondering about the cutout for the tail feathers for your Debonair! How much of a cut out did you make and do you find that the tail is totally stable, I was afraid to cut out too much from what I heard others talking about. Actually I had the whole fuse cut out at 9" from the rear but put it aside and made another one with just enough cutout to fit the fin at 5".

I was just wondering because the longer cutout looks so much better but I didn't want the tail to be too wobbly or was I just worried about nothing?
Would appreciate your input......again! Thanks.
