That is scale modelling for you, the nearer the end you get, the slower things seem to progress.
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

yawn.
first 2 noses.
[img


main servo tray and servo's.
[img


battery tray.
[img

now we have a decision to make here.
the way it is designed you have to take the wing off every time you need to change the battery, so the tray will go in am upwards direction.
on mine i have cut a access hatch in the top of the fuselage for battery changing.

do the rest of you want the same or they way TN designed it.
