Wow! What a great site!! And tons of lift there I can tell. I wish my site here had lift like that and even at 22mph, I could only image what it must be at 32mph. Thanks for the video and nice flying. 
I hope you have a backside somewhere out there where you can really get her up to speed.

One backside which I have thought a lot about is this one. It looks good and ther is possible to land on grass and not much stone.Wow! What a great site!! And tons of lift there I can tell.

Falcon DS radar gun is on his way l has bought it from the one who holds the Norwegian DS record
And my friend has a D60 on the way
Then I hope the DS virus comes ? her ???

I think they are sure many DS places that I do not see possibility in they are probably many.

Couldn't find an F40 thread so posting here. On the workbench:

Well I made some cute little servo frames for the blue birds but I would have to make them incredibly weak to even get the geometry right to fit them inside the servo bays.

Wing control horns in. Getting servos and wires ready for soldering.

The white servo connectors on the bluebirds are really nice for labeling.

Can anyone tell me what speed Bruce manage to take the big-arsed Dynamic to?
I think its close to the record but not quite there?
I'm academically curious.
Thanks in advance,
Le Doc.

It was actually a pretty quick process once i started working on it. Just lots of checking to make sure as its pretty thin in the back. I ended up removing a couple mm from the control horn and than i marked the area on the tail i needed to remove to allow elevator movement and than slowly took bites of it out with a Dremel and a cutoff disc. Was actually really easy, it did not try to grab and move on me at all. 15m epoxy and cabosil for the control horn connection.
I worked my way up through a couple drill bits but i should have used another one in between the final one as i did get a little bit of splitting in the skin but its minor over about 3mm on each side. This could be avoided depending on if you have smaller (less diameter) control rod setup. I am using the standard stuff aloft carries. Black outer sheath, white inner sheath, and than metal rod. I used a combination of medium and thin CA to make sure that it is totally locked in place, leaving about half an inch sticking out the back so i didnt get any down the tubes, and than a pretty easy job with a razor to cut it flush once the CA has set.
Little bit of fiddly work to get the horizontal down on the 3 tail pins while also pushing the connected control rod down into the tubes but it got there. I used some goop on the pins and surfaces.
Had to do a slight bend on the end of the Z-bend as seen in the picture so the end of the rod would not hit the elevator.
