So thats all you get in these plans then .... "place servo here somehow" ?? ... thats not very helpful eh?

It seems like there's a lot of improvise, overcome and adapt with this sort of build Andy ...not something i'd feel competent enough to attack (i scratch build loads of stuff yet feel from your issues and resolutions in this thread that this is a tad above my limits) .. i think you're doing a great job, even if it does feel like you're swimming against the flow half the time.

Thought you'd gone passed all the fiddly bits. Andy but she's defiantly on the final legs now eh.

Can't wait to see her "prop spinning and the control panels moving"

Well, hello again. I know its been a while but i have been on and off the forum trying to catch up on your excellent works. The reason for the pause is two fold, Firstly i had to finish off the 4 wings, profiling the leading and trailing edges along with the covering and rib tapes that you have all seen previously and i didnt want to bore you with the same old thing. and secondly i have to confess that the last two weeks i have been busy doing other things and have not been in the workshop much until the last couple of days.

Anyway, here are the finished covered wings ready for painting, you will see i have painted the underside of the upper wing sections.

View attachment 49737View attachment 49738View attachment 49739View attachment 49740View attachment 49741View attachment 49742View attachment 49743View attachment 49744View attachment 49745View attachment 49746

From here on in its isignia and wing painting. I will post as we go through the stages.

Good to be posting again.

Cheers

Andy
