RE: Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 ARF
Started with the assembly on the wings, First thing I notice when I slid the wings on were the tubes we very tight, after working the tubes in/out a few times they did loosen up, but are still tight. Something surprising is there is no wing bolt attachment at all. I guess they are relying on the wing struts to hold the wings in place. Not sure but I may add a blind nut/bolt of some kind,, We'll see after finial assembly
I didn't like the wood blocks they give you for the servo mount, looked to me like the wood would just split, so I used 3M double sided foam tape. I also rubbed a couple drops of Medium CA on the wood so to seal the pores of the plywood. This tape sticks very well, never had it come loose before, I used cap screws for the hatch, ditched the oem Philips screws. Used the supplied Ca hinges for the Aileron. T-pins help center the ca hinge. all straight forward. But, missing from the kit was control horns for the ailerons, I had a set of light weight ones that should work fine, I used epoxy for those. Z-bend pliers worked great for making the pushrods
Next the ail & rudder servos, Cut out for servos were too small for the hs85 servos I planed to use. Also the Ply base is very thin, maybe 2mm ply. Not shown but I'll add a piece of wood to give the screws more bite.
Problem going forward is the pushrods end up below the servo horn, I had planned on making a z-bend, I could use the ez connector supplied but it would make adjustment difficult.
