Besides, it's sorta fun to paint them on. I happen to have a set of 60 size Major Decals for a WW2 german fighter. I thought of using them as well but decided to go the old fashioned route.

German camo worked well. I'll resort to flying it on sunny days only

I have some tidying up to do on the paint job.

Sometime in 1944 when Günther Rall was the Gruppenkommandeur.

I've always wanted to have the pin and flag configuration. Not a scale piece of kit, but then the Ultra Sport isn't scale either

I'm still fussing over whether or not to bother putting a Group shield on the port side just fwd of the cockpit. I kinda like the JG 52 shield....pic included below.

My next move will be to deal with all of the hinging. Gotta seal the hinge lines with polyurethane and then attach all of the moving bits to the fuse and wing. I may re-design the flap hinging; I'm not fully convinced that the flaps will work as I want.

I've started to turn my mind to all of the servo connections that I'll need to make this thing work. One for each aileron, one for each flap, one for for each of the LADO electric retracts, one for the elevator, one for the rudder, and one for the throttle....a pile of connections. I'll be using a Futaba SBus receiver which, in turn, drives the need for at least one SBus decoder cable (no SBus servos in my collection yet). The cable from Futaba is very pricey, and it only has three ports.

I've never used Hobby King, but I understand that their stuff is generally just fine. So I'm thinking of using their decoder and programmer; it has four ports and is less than half the price of the Fiutaba (see pic below). I'm thinking that some of you may have used this product and could offer an opinion. Whadayathink?

Good idea Mike. I used the HK encoder and programmer in my small hurricane and it worked a treat. I used basic Hitec servos, all worked fine.1 plug on top of the wing into the fuse.

Programmer is so easy even I got it right first try! Push a button, check a light, push again..never indication of any kind of problem. Certainly that wasn't what dumped the plane.
