Hi folks, been busy flying and maintaining my models so not much done to the lysander. I have spent the last two evenings painting inside the control surfaces ailerons and flaps overpainting the grey covering along the hinge lines, looks a lot better now.

Hi

Done some more work in between flying and maintenance of models. Fitted the aileron servo last night a bit fiddly but it went in well linkage is working great nice and short no slop. Need to call in to Rapidrc for some paint for the screws and control horn cover along the edge before I glue it in place. Started on the flap control servo tray could not find the parts anywhere in the kit so had to make some today, not good.

Hi

Done some more work on the wings and finished them, so they are to one side, started on the fus fitting the tailwheel it looks very nice and practical. Painted some matt fuel proofer around the edges of the covering material in the tailwheel area. Fitted the push-pull system for steering. All very nice no problems. Anyone have any idea what threaded rod and nut and plastic cover are for? 2008843845_image2(4).thumb.jpeg.d1031cd1799533fb09fc2bf42e5bfb36.jpeg

Hi folks Yes I have been impressed by the accessories. started on engine mounting the kit comes with plywood templates 1 for os33 and the other one for dle35. Had to modify the dle template the 30 has slightly different mounting holes. All drilled into firewall also drilled for the choke and throttle.

Had to make a tank cradle today they wasn’t anything in the kit to support the tank. Tweaked it in a few places but now can remove with the tank attached to the cradle. All the 2mm holes are just to make sure l can screw it down without hitting a gap in the framework.

Done some more work on the lysander in-between flying. Bolted the engine in now and fitted the tank also went round with PVA around the formers give it some more strength. Looking at now placement of the ignition unit and batteries location. I think I will need some nose weight so if i can build a battery tray on top of the engine I can have a choice of nimah, sub-c's or LiFe battery at the front. The ignition unit is fitted to the side to save space and lots of room in the cowl. I will not know what is needed until final assembly hopefully with the on board starter it will not need to much.

Amazing what can be learned by accident. The Ty-Rap was invented in the states to make cable management easier for aircraft manufacture during the second world war. That makes their use in our models very appropriate and also, I have been erroneously calling them tie wraps for many years.

Hi

To hot to fly today doing a bit more on the Lysander fitted the cowl today made up some cardboard circles two layers of 3mm and some gelutong stand-offs. Given myself about 6mm clearance on the prop. Next is dremel a hole for the plug or a hole for the cylinder head and silencer.
