I have a circle cutter and make my own out of Monokote or the peel and stick sheets. Lining them up is the tricky part.

Make sure your elevator linkage is robust. I heard these die frequently due to stab flutter.....

Wildo Dan, I tried to peel some of my old ones off, a dead fuse, but they were not good.
It's the .46 size Al, originally owned by Greg. He flew it at Shearwater last summer. :)

I only seen it with the cowl off of it. Looks much better now.

Dan, The horizontal and Vertical control surfaces are pinned, should be ok there...

I managed to peel some old RAF Roundelles off my Hawk chassis.. 8-)
