Here's one of my other winter projects, a Nipperized Allenplane for GX (it is very light!); I shortened the boom 2" from the plans, Yankee Nipper elevator assembly (much, much simpler than the Allenplane setup).  It's assembled with Pica's white glue, only using epoxy for 1/2 oz. wingtip weight and leadout guide; it's also covered with Corehouse covering (very light and easy to use).  I cut down a bellcrank to 2" which Bill Maywald recommends, it also works out with the short motor mounts from Bill Maywald.  Use bellcrank stop (to limit control), carbon pushrod and Yankee Nipper adjustable control horn.  The OS 32 is setup with 9/32 venturi blanked off S/T spraybar, K&B remote valve and Tiapan prop (talk about being international), hope to test very soon.
