Still looking for a quick task, Ithen covered the Elevators side at a time (4 sessions). Ihave used "Solartex pre-painted, iron on, fabric covering" for the first time. I found it to be very easy to apply and it looks and feels great. Ihave no intention to go further and apply stitching etc, the "fabric" feel is as close to scale as my aeroplane is going to get.
Once fitted to the stabiliser, it really give the tail that familiar Me-109 shape.
With this done, I came to the stage where Ihave to make some decisions if Iwant to continue working in the fuselage. Ihave some un-resolved issues that Iam still thinking on:
1. Will Iuse the designed elevator control or use servos at the back
2. Will I use pull-pull for the Ruder (my usual preferred Rudder control method)? Ihave no idea how to figure out where Ineed the cable exits holes from the fuselage to be drilled, and Iam afraid to butch the moulded fibreglass in my quest to get it right... Obviously Ialso didn't yet decided where Iwill place my radio gear and with that the Rudder servo...
3. Iam considering placing a servo for the tail wheel steering behind the tail wheel (the space into which it will normally retract into). Undecided yet if this will be easier then using pull-pull from the Rudder servo, not to mention the weight in the back...

Too many decisions to make for the fuselage, so Iwill buy the engine (The new MVVS 30cc petrol), exhaust, receiver and rest of the radio gear and get back to it later. It is time to build the wing, and this is all Idid in the first year since receiving the "kit". Now, over the last week, I started on the wing and got the structure of half almost complete, which I will detail in my next few posts.
