Hi Geoff, Do you have an update.
-
Been awhile since the last update, the build is almost complete all wooden parts are glued in all cracks filled and all working parts added and setup. Still to do have to purchase 2 new switches as remembered had some dubro switch stations which i will use, receiver to be mounted in its final place the canopy and rear hatch will be removeable when required am going to blend them in with filler and covering then all it will take is a hack saw or scaple to remove. Then a final sand, fuel proofing and covering,

Have not been up to much on the build been routing the wires and plumbing. Flaps are complete and fit ok some minor adjustments required which will be done when the servos are connected. Due to the amount of connectors I have used ashlock connectors which will house the Ailerons , Flaps and throttle which leaves the retracts and lights so instead of 8 connectors only have 4 fitted 4-max landing lights which have an of on switch so this can be connected to a channel and used when required and power is supplied by a 2s lipo the receiver battery is not used.

Hi Barry I have just done the bottom skin not yet sanded and I can see what you mean I have also added some balsa strips from inside the fuse just to help in some areas. wings are coming on well now for the wiring some head scratching been going on .plenty of coffee in house just in case

Thanks all, Yes the kit is well laid out and fits together quickly, Have a lot of sanding still to be done and this will take up a lot of time. BEB the covering in some areas is 1.6mm due to the complex curves at the tail end if you are not careful like myself who is a bit heavy handed all sorts of things happen. The main sheets are 3/32 due to sanding some areas do come thin and you only fine them when your finger goes through. Now the working parts are starting to go in I will be slowing down as need to work out the wire and air routes.
