1.	I went with a hyde ar mount and a nose ring attached to the
front. 
2.	I used the stock arms. It has not flown but it is a tight
linkage I used Troy Newman's elevator linkage setup.
3.	I just cut a hatch

Subject: More Revolution Questions
 
I have just recently purchased a Revolution Pro. I have not started the
assembly yet, I have a few questions that I want to get the answers to
before I start. I am hoping that someone will read this that has one or
knows somebody who does. 

1st. The model comes with an engine mount already installed. It says
that it is a soft mount and is designed for a 140 2c or 4c. I am kind of
unsure of the way the mount looks. I am going to be using a YS140 Sport.
I have seen them run at idle and they can really shake. I was thinking
of using a Hyde ARIS mount. Has anyone mounted one of these on this
plane before. It is a composite air frame and didn't know how well it
would work. 

2nd. The model comes with
<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=1174> control
horns already installed ( composite arms ) I want to use MK horns &
clevises. I know that I can cut off the horns that are on there now, the
directions say that you can do this. I didn't see or missed where it
said that it was ok to drill a hole in the control surfaces to put the
horns in. I am concerned that there might not be a hard mount in the
wing to mount the horn to. I don't want to cut off the originals until I
get an answer on this. 

3rd. If you have put together an impact or Revolution then you know
where the servos are mounted in the wings. For those who haven't seen it
yet I will try to describe it as close as I can. The servos is mounted
on it's side with the arm protruding out from behind or inside the skin
on the wing. They are mounted in the 3rd or 4th wing spar in, about 12
or so inches from the wing root. HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THEM IN
THERE??????? I think that I have figured out how to put in the
<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=1138> screws
but how do you put the servo in its place?? This one has me racking my
brain. 

I am sure that I will come up with a ton more questions but that is all
that I can think of right now. Any help on this would really be
appreciated. 

Thank you for all the help.
