I haven't work on mine since I build the main parts, I had a few gas projects to complete and some nitros, now I'm on training on a new job so, not much time to work on it but the time is getting closer to continue the work, I say it will be ready around the end of the year.
So many projects, so little time

Nice build so far, its been helping me with my build immensely! Thanks!

Awesome thanks!
Did you go with the large dubro flat hinges on the ailerons, set up like it calls for on Ziroli's plans, top of the trailing edge surface? Or did you go with Robarts on the centre hinge line for ailerons?

How did you know I have been working on it again? I have been working on the fuse details here and there, I have given the fuse the final sanding preparing it for the Monokote, I went with a 6/32 screw and blind nut to hold the hatch/canopy in place ( epoxy takes a long time to dry in cold WX ) I now have to finish the details on the hatch and I will be done with the fuse, next will be to complete the horizontal stabs, elevators and rudder.
I think once that is done the I can start thinking about the install, I will start with the retracts then move on the servos on the control surfaces, turbine and final the fuel system.
Im borrowing a P60 from a friend, I know it only generates 13 lbs of trust but Im estimating 18 lbs for final dry weight on the Turbo, ready to fly with 100 oz of fuel at 5 lbs should be around 23 lbs ( I can only hope : ) ) It will not be a speed demon but it should fly comfortable like my Boomereng XL which is 32 dry, 42 ready to fly with a gallon of fuel and up to 50 oz or less of smoke if wanted, been pushed by TJT 3000 ( 27 lbs of trust ).

I build per the plans and went with the big plastic hinges hinged on top of the ailerons, that design helps with the aileron differential that create less drag when deflected and since I added the extra wing tips to mine I should help during turns and specially rolls.

I do not remember how it was specified on the Zirolli plane.
I did that;

Make sure the hinge is not pushing the ailerons skin up, if it is give the hinge more room to go in.
I'm glad that you are taking advantage of the build, and you are welcome any time.
thank you for the nice words
