    Truly scrumptious.

    Dear Santa, I've been good (ish). Please could I have a tool bag and anything else you can think of?

    If I'm lucky, I might be equipped to find that servo arm retaining screw I dropped!

    I'll have a try, please.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for the photos. Nice to see what others are doing inside the works!

    Thanks, Steve. Never used Turnigy myself, so I'm always interested in other people's experiences. I'm contemplating a Hitec HS-225MG for elevator.

    Steve, What a superb finish, and a very appealing colour scheme. Craftsmanship at its finest! Out of interest, what servos have you fitted - I'm always interested in other people's installations?

    Now, where were we? After a short delay, work is continuing. I struggled with the shape of the underwing fairing and had to remove my first attempt, leaving some of the wing sheeting a little scratched. However, I ended up with this, complete with rust marks from the pins (which don't appear to be rusty!): The Blender To blend the wing trailing edges into the fuselage I inset a couple of triangular(ish) pieces of 1/16" ply, sitting flush with the fuselage planking. From the few underside photos I've seen of the Sabre, the outer edges of fairing pieces meet the trailing edge at roughly 90 degrees: The ply pieces are level with the bottom of the wing, and roughly continue the underside profile of the airfoil: The plan is to build up the fairing on top of these ply platforms, and to bridge the step up to the 3/32" balsa wing seat, which I left oversize for cutting down later: Hopefully, progress will be a little more rapid over the next few weeks.

    Jrman, thanks for the info - I didn't know they were still manufacturing, I thought they were just selling off old stocks. Pete, yes I've now seen some JR/DFA prices at Probuild - wow!

    Thanks to Geoff C for bringing my old thread back to life, and to everyone who has posted interesting comments. My immediate need for advice has now largely passed, since I invested in a 2.4GHz JR DSX-9 a few months after the opening post. I'm now stuck with old DSM-2 technology, lots of matching receivers, and an expired manufacturer. However, for the timebeing the DSX-9 is working fine and is a great TX to programme and handle, as long as it remains reliable and operational. Shortly before JR folded, I also bought a JR XG-7 with a couple of DMSS receivers, and was once again left with unsupported technology. Ah, such is life!

    Hi Chris, Still following your progress with interest. You're well ahead of me now, and storming forwards. Keep up the sticky work!

    Superb attention to detail, Phil. Your models always stand out because of these little extras.
