Dave,
I built one last year for fun and opted to make a few changes along the way. Made the fuselage a little deeper, added flaps and added a 2.5" stretch to the tail; I moved the stab and elevator rearward by that amount. I also lengthened the nose to make room for the motor and battery. The stretch was meant to help balance the weight of the 4S pack. The airplane is a good flyer: 10x4 Xoar wood prop at 12K RPM, Castle 35 lite (in governor mode), timer from Brodak and a 1800 mah 4S pack. This gives it about 335 watts for 33 oz of weight ready to fly. I use n 58' foot, 012 lines, eyelet to eyelet. From my head to the fuselage center line it is probably 61.5 ft. The plane flies the whole sequence reasonably well (it is a small model).
I have enclosed a picture of my wing halfway through the build. As you can see I opted to use a suspended bell crank but kept relatively low relative to the rib centerline. In the photo you can also see that I had to enlarge the holes which go through the ribs as well as having to cut slot through the spar webbing.
Good luck,
Teo
