As you can see at the beginning of the video, my friend Seras pretends like he's Josh Bixler, Josh is his RC plane idol, so as mine... Soldering 3,5 mm gold connectors are very easy guys but soldering XT60 connector is never easy as it looks, trust me. It was like nightmare... We had so much fun during the build process and we had proud at the end. Every single electronic piece of this plane is ordered by HobbyKing (part list is down below)

This plane is made by depron, strengthened by tape. I made my own laser cuts, here it is (this is FT Cruiser laser cut but you get the idea)

I DONT like to push up elevator.. I have this theory in my head that if I have slop in the link its fine for down, never up..

Looks like your elevator link riding on the top might give you problem when giving it down elevator. If you you where to put the control horn on the bottom of the elevator and place your servo arm towards the bottom it would free up any binding.

yes you are right about the elevator but we noticed that after hot glue is dried and whole plane is done...
we tried to solve it by making a groove below the push rod... but elevator works anyway, actually this style is better, a non sensitive elevator :))
