Mike:   I agree with your comments,having built two of them. The first being a tad heavy at 12 pounds! That was 4 years ago.
The current one is 10 pounds,six ounces which includes 2 oz.of tail weight. Some of which may be removed as I have only 26 flights on it.
OS 140Rx,17x12 APC with Greve pipe,O.S.(Hatori?) header,and each wing is shortened 1" by clipping the tip. Flies very well,even snaps pretty good.
There always seems to be a "but".....    The left aileron at about 3 or 4 clicks of throttle vibrates worse than anything I have seen in this regard,yet the right aileron is quite smooth. At other RPMs all seems good.  I have had to replace the out put gear in a new Futaba 9150,as the wheel would rock back and forth. Have not flown since.
Mount is a Hyde,the one with aluminum beams and built in nose ring.

Any suggestions as to how to eliminate the vibration in the left aileron,as I am not sure I can fly it as is.Will at least have to try to avoid that particular position on throttle stick.

Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dave   #943
