                  Alright i'll pick up the first one see how that works out. Looks like some simple hardware, ill look at some speedmaster struts, etc. I'll prob do 078 wire drive and put the motor in the cockpit or whatever. Thanks alot pics helped! Hope mine turns out as well as yours did.

                      You'll want to make the stuffing tube as straight as possible with as gradual of a bend as possible since you're running the wire drive. You might have to run the motor really far forward to make the bend gradual enough.
                      Light travels faster than sound, so people may appear to be bright until you hear them speak.

                        Yeah i planned on putting the motor up in the cockpit area.

                          Aren't those the same as he already has? I believe so.

                              HE asked if the turn fin he had was too big and then you provided links to the SAME turn fin. I just said isn't that the same as he already has?

                                oh yeah, sorry just didnt understand. I dont know if it will make much of a difference and may provide more turning ability but, if he said its a little too big then maybe its a little to big. Anyone got a link to a better one?

                                Chud suggested the ul-1 fin

                                "UL-1 2mm Aquacraft Fin"


                                P.S. hey Chud when you ganna get that video up!
