So with the servos built in and the rigging points in place, I decided it was time to cover the bottom half of the wing... Thats half the bottom done, time for tea now

Thank you Phil, as regards the mounts, I posted the pics on Facebook and it was commented that the idea may be patented, it is something I will have to look into, but I can't see how they can be, it's just a servo mount made from wood instead of plastic, just a change of materials doesn't warrant a patent does it? Nice of you to say PV

The latest RCME with the Ballerina plan inside landed on my door this morning so no excuse now people?

The servos are now fitted! getting all giddy with excitement

Nothing heavy going on the nose of this one PV, it's leccy, and I don't want to put non-essential strain on the motor, the prop is a Xoar Wooden Vintage prop 15x6. Working on a servo box for the internals, one to mount all servos plus all the cranks for pull-pull controls on both rudder and elevators

96" Chris, got a fair bit of fiddly bits done I used Phosphorous Bronze PV, I thought if I have to put weight in may as well be something like this rather than lead, but I know what you're saying about that stuff, have used it myself in the past

Drawn up and laser cut some wing mounted servo boxes...

Ok, so let's get the wing out... Make a few holes and insert and epoxy the rigging points...

A Z62 version? hmmmm....stop it, that's not fair! Today I have mainly been trying to figure out the working rigging, I think I have got my head around it, the wings rigging was fairly straight forward, just couldn't decide what to do with the tail end, but I think I have it in my head now. And me being lazy I have just ordered some rigging plates from DB Sport & Scale, just couldn't be bothered to make em myself.

Thanks PV I'll pass it on. Well fitting that mesh was a job and half, the mesh was so springy I had to epoxy 2 corners, clamp and wait for it to dry, epoxy 2 more positions and repeat, then repeat a third time, but its all come good in the end...

Been playing again today, it is getting closer to the finish line Firstly had to get he out and stare for a while..... Then after a couple of hours the motor was fitted.... Ooooo and then a prop, just for effect ... And now in the process of fitting a phosphorous Bronze mesh grill.... Once all done I sahll fit the ESC and then move onto sorting the wings out and then fitting out, then it may just be ready for Greenacres next year (only 2 years late)
