A plane this big, why don't you go for redundancy and use a servo on each half of the elevator. Doing away with the quarter inch wire elevator joiner will almost make up for the weight of the second servo...

RE: Storage - hanging jets from the ceiling
I use the bicycle hangers from Harbor Freight. Work nicely and are priced right! http://www.harborfreight.com/bicycle-lift-95803.html You can also just use regular pulleys and rope; just make sure you buy quality pulleys so they roll smoothly. I will upload some pictures when RCU will cooperate

RE: Rattle Can Painting Advice
Any more advice as to when to sand if I develop orange peel? Just to get this thread back on topic, I am using engine enamel and will be burning kerosene so I know in my case it will be "fuel proof!" That was never the original question...

RE: Rattle Can Painting Advice
Since I am worried about kerosene proof I think the Rustoleum I'm using won't be a problem. If I was using an alcohol/nitro fuel I would use Lustercoat clear over the Rustoleum, after the color had cured for three to four weeks, based upon what I have read in my searches on fuel resistance. The enamel takes much longer to cure for overcoating than does the lacquer.

RE: Rattle Can Painting Advice
James Yes I will be using Rustoleum Enamel Clear over the color coat to keep things consistant. I'm going to shoot a stab in the next week or so, depending upon the weather, and see how things go. Based upon testing I have already done I need to let the color coats cure for a week before clear coating or the clear will make the sharp edges of the color run slightly.

Rattle Can Painting Advice
When you guys use rattle can paint on a hard surface do you sand the color coat to smooth the usual "orange peel" surface and then clear coat? Or do you shoot the clear, then sand and buff????

RE: X-acto knife sharpening
I agree with smithcreek It is cheaper in the long run, both time and dollar-wise, to buy bulk blades and just throw away the dull ones. Just cutting iron-on covering for a medium sized airplane will use up 6 to 8 blades. Covering material seems to dull blades faster than balsa

RE: Silly VELCRO Question???
Thanks for all the suggestions about where to get the velcro but I already have a number of rolls of velcro tape that I will be using. When I use it up I'll try some of the suggested vendors. I don't think wear will be a problem as the velcro tape is to hold in fuel tanks and, hopefully, I won't need to remove them very often! Just trying to find out which side (hook or loop) is more permanent when glued...
