    Well Chris I have had to have words - there are little grey footprints all over the inner wing skin! Servos now purchased for ailerons, I'm using Turnigy. There are some fantastic forum posts on servo installation which I am following closely and hope to apply within the month. For now I will turn my attention to the fuselage as I am aware we are in 2020 and 'The Event' is approaching even more rapidly. BMFA membership renewed, CAA enrolled. Im almost good to go, just need my plane to come together aaagggghhhhh (don't panic Mr Mannering). Happy New Year and Happy New Decade to one and all

    The past couple of weeks I have been grappling with the 6-3 wing, and too much Christmas food The Fury FJ3 had a variant of the original wing where the chord was extended forward 6 inches at the root. This has been covered elsewhere on the forum. I decided to draw a new wing with the 6-3 format and see what I would need to change on 'our' standard wing. My references were various internet sourced plans, a scale model plan that I resized to 1/10 scale and a scale model fury fj3 from Sword. Having drawn the new profile my next step was to produce a new leading edge and to alter the point of maximum thickness 1.3 cm forward at the root. Having temporarily taken over my wife workshop table (she owns a knitting shop and has a craft area at the rear) I set about the modifications. So my efforts are reproduced below:- Leading edge fitted ready to be cut to correct profile A piccy from the knitting shop craft area. I made use of the area while wifey was having a Christmas break. My pilot takes a seat on the newly shaped wing and reviews progress. The leading edge is correctly sized and about to be shaped. The wing formers will need more work in the next stage. This may be more fiddle than strictly necessary but I am thoroughly enjoying the ride ! Would anybody like to offer a name for my pilot ?

    Hi Guys, I want to go down the RDS route too. The only accessible versions I found were on the Graupner site. https://www.graupner.com/RDS-Servo-lead-duct/JR/3925/ A bit pricey perhaps, especially with postage. This seems to be the right size but I am no expert and was hoping to tactfully, but unashamedly, follow someone elses experience. If someone is printing these adapters and sharing - count me in !

    This is a call for help! Have any of you good chaps set up the ailerons using rds ??? Graupner have a good set but before I invest what are your thoughts https://www.graupner.com/RDS-Servo-lead-ductDES/3927/ By the way these were the only readily available commercial sets I found. If anyone else has already posted on this then my apologies - I missed it!

    Firstly a big 'Thank you' to all you guys sharing your experiences building the PSSA Sabre. For the ones like me, bringing up the rear, the 'gotchas' have been really helpful. My beastie is an FJ-3, the wing is the 6-3 variant and I am making some subtle alterations to extend the wing root by 15mm and the wing tip by 7.5mm. We will see how that works out (gulp). Here are the woking pics so far, the reinforced frame for the wing and tentative first steps on the skin. I am enjoying following everyones progress and its great to be back building a (hopefully) fling machine. Nice one PSSA.

    Yay - glad to be on board. I began the build yesterday and have decided to go for the FJ3 variant with a colour scheme based on the USS Forrestal group. As a beginner I'm really glad to have started this and will be watching for all your tricks and tips to guide me on the way.
