Nice build ,now tie it to your rudder servo. The little brass pieces are eyelets can be found at fabric stores, a good source of sticky back Velcro by the yard. You've given me a good idea on how to improve on the steering arm.

Thanks, I have it tied into my rudder on my twin boom plane and it works great! I just put this actual one on a 6 pound cargo plane that is in the works right now. Maiden flight to come soon, but looks like it will work well.
How are you improving on the steering arm? I am curious because there must be a simpler way without buying one.

The is nothing visible on page one of your document except numbers. I am viewing it in OpenOffice. BTW, great idea.

I posted a pdf of the plans, I hope they work for you better. The formers should all be 1.5 inches wide if the scale is off.

Thanks for sharing... Awesome job. I just ordered my Big Guinea after flying the Mini Guinea this past Saturday. I really enjoy the flight characteristics.
