On July 13th, I got out to Beauty Bay for the first time and golfed 18 holes with Jordan. I really enjoyed the course and look forward to golfing there again. The smoke from the forest fires around Northwestern Ontario really rolled in adding a different visibility element to the game. I’m usually one for

For the two heavy duty control surfaces (elevator & rudder) using HiTech HS-645MG servos and for the throttle that doesn’t undergo the same amount of force a HiTech HS-425BB servo. For putting the control horns on figured out where each
