Photo -1 April 27, 2002 I have finally opened the boxes and am now beginning construction.
Photo -2 The Elevator Servo cut-out was lowered 3/16" to allow the use of 1 1/4" servo arm NOTE:Rudder cut out filled in
Photo -3,4 A 1/8" Lite Ply plate with a 1/4" plywood block was added to the inside bottom of the fuse to accomidate the mounting of the tail wheel
Photo -5,6 Cowl attatchment is done similar to a Carden, with a ply ring glued inside the cowl which butts up to hardwood blocks glued to the front former
Photo -7 All control surfaces hinged
Photo -8 Motor box sides were severely warped. Used ammonia (Windex) and weights for 2 days to straighten
Photo -9 I built the Right Thrust into the motor box / firewall, so the pre-installed 3/8" balsa was not at the correct anglel
I will re-add the balsa when the motor box top and bottom are installed
Photo -10 Firewall is epoxied in and clamped
