Harry Twist Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi Phil, looking good, I like the use of sockets as masses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Beard Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Guys, Has anyone got any photos of how they've mounted their wing servos as I've got Turnigy TGY-9018MG servos to install, just looking for a bit of advice from someone that's ahead of me in the wing build.

Flyer Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Think the prototype had them exiting the bottom of the wing Phil, no doubt Martin will post a pic when he's around. From memory they are side mounted with a small ply plate covering them. Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Beard Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Ade, Thanks for your response, I'll wait for Martins photo as I'd like to see what structure he put in place to see them too or did he just use servo tape onto the bottom wing.

Phil Beard Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Guys, A few more photos of my build, including my error in not noticing the part F4A as it wasn't indicated on the drawing only as a doubler so I made them.

Phil Beard Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 Elevator servo added and fuselage side continued to be sanded down getting to a smooth finish from the palnking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Beard Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 With the BAe Hawk now being painted I've brought the F86- Sabre back onto the building board. This will end up being painted in the Imperial Iranian Air Force paint scheme. Hopefully this will also be finished for the PSSA event on the Great Orme in May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Gay Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I like that colour scheme! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Beard Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Martin thanks for that. The PSSA guys told me where to search on the internet for paint schemes and I found that paint scheme and I thought it looked good and I don't think anyone else has used it also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Gay Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I had a Sea Fury in the Iraqi colour scheme. It looked good in the air and was relatively easy to see over the Orme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
