wings getting sorted.
keeping it simple this time.
root rib, main spar, balsa trailing edge.

the a single sheet of 3mm over the top and sorted.

got to sort the servo positions tomorrow and then i can do the same with the undersides.

ran the servo wires up the fuselage to the nose area and then started sheeting.

it has stiffened the fuselage up nicely.

aileron servos are glued into the wing now, next job is to sheet the underside of the wings and make up the rudder, elevators and ailerons.

hello
wings are all sheeted, wing tips fitted, aileron servos in and working.

and i even programmed the dx9 correctly.

now if i build this right it might do a vertical take off.
