1. Ditto  (will send photos upon my return to town)
2. There is a section near where the control horn is put in that has an 
epoxy/micro ballon filling.  I drilled through that...haven't had a problem 
in 2 seasons.
3. Ditto...cut hatches.  You'll be surprised....and scared...how easily an 
x-acto knike will go through the wing skin.  It's like cutting paper...or 
more easily.   I also opened up the servo box a little so the servo would 
sit closer to the surface of the wing.

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 control horns 
<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=1174>  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 screws 
<http://www.rcuniverse.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=1138>  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.
Dan
