fin is now fitted.
next job is to fit the rudder and elevator servo's and run the pull pull wires.
then i can cover the rudder and elevator and start on the u/c and strut mounts.

cut the 6mm ply u/c floor and glued it on today.
the ali channel will be used to make the mounts for the legs and struts.


need some 5mm wire for the legs now and we can crack on bending and cutting and drilling to make up the u/c.

- need to find some thin black rubber - - Dare I say - try a chemist!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!
