    Hey Ronin,

    I'm in the middle of doing the same thing. Mounting the 4 control mixer required welding in 6 tubes to support it. Now that i have covered the fuselage I find the bellcrank mounts are wrong and new ones need to be welded in. The only parts from the wing kit usable is the spars. Ribs, flaperons, brackets, etc are all different. Maybe a wing kit would be less expensive then buying the parts? Good luck, I like Larry's tail mods.

    Got most of the control system removed along with the floorboards. The flap lever bolt seems to hit the frame tube, not sure how it got put in but it sure doesn't want to come out.
