\"P1160154-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tapered ends of upper and lower triangle stock, The fuse side come together at the rear to measure 3\/16 wide. I’ll sand them a little so they blend into the rudder which is 1\/8 inch thick<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"P1160173-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lower front 1\/16 ply sheet<\/p>\n

\"P1160174-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Servo installation, I like to use a piece of lite ply, and set the servos into that, in case the next guy wants to use different servos<\/p>\n

\"P1160176-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inboard trailing edge,\u00a0 wings still need a lot of sanding.<\/p>\n

\"P1160177-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trailing edge end piece, app. 1″ long filler.<\/p>\n

\"P1160178-001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next are the details,<\/p>\n

– adding wingtips<\/p>\n

-slots in ailerons and trailing edges for hinges<\/p>\n

– control rods, cutting to length and adding adjustable clevises<\/p>\n

– affixing the tail so its square to the fuse and the wing<\/p>\n

– sanding<\/p>\n

There’s a lot that goes into a build , and it seems the smaller it is the more work it takes<\/p>\n
