Had a fiddly day today.
got the rudder servo in and the rudder working at last, fiddly job but we dd it.
got the wing plate in as well.
elevator servo's in and working, just need to connect them up next. (waiting for some bits to turn up)
had an issue with one elevator getting stuck to the fuselage by the sealer, little bit of work with the scalpel and it was soon freed.
got the first coat of white on the wing and the second coat of red done as well.
slowly heading towards the finish line.

That's looking mighty nice Tony.
Bet it'll go like a bat out of hell

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

Well i buggered that all up didn't i. 
wing plate was to high up in the fuselage and the bolts would not reach.
had to make a whole new plate and faf about to gt the wing to bolt on ok.
well it's on now, needs a little bit of work now to fill the gaps. didn't have any when i offered it up a week ago.
not a good morning.
nearly threw it in the bin with frustration.

Well i had some lunch and a poop and got back to work.
made up the mounting blocks for the nose and screwed that on.
then because my bits i ordered yesterday had turned up, i got on with getting the elevators to work.
then i found some wheels.
so i got the ailerons left to do, seal the wing and fit the motor and esc.
then it is done and i can have a go at something else.
at the moment it weighs 3lb 10 oz and needs 1lb 3oz to get the c of g right. motor, battery and esc should see to most of that.
