I've built several Mosquitos to this spec. Don't worry about the 50 not being able to take both ailerons. It's fine. As for plans, take a look at the Bug at rcmmagazine. It's a 75cm span dihedral V-tail. No ailerons, but it wouldn't be too terribly hard to make them. You may also want to consider the Colibri. I have an aileron version (3 servos total) that I really dig. It has a design flaw or two, but it's a beauty nonetheless. You could put HS50s in the wings and use something relatively cheap for the elevator, like an HS-55. I use MX-50s and they're a little big in the wings. I've scratchbuilt a couple. Let me know if you want to talk about design at that scale. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
