Some tangible progress has been made. I whipped together the center section of the stabilizer and the fin. In the full scale aircraft the stabilizer center section and the fin are integral to the fuselage. It is necessary to get the fin and center section onto the fuselage so that I can mount the rest of the stabilizer and the elevator and rudder. Once this is all mounted up then I can run the control cables. The walking beam for the elevator and the rudder servo will bring the cables out at a location that should be close to scale. I will get a better picture of the servo mount and walking beam assembly. Right now the fin, stabilizer and servo mounts aren't glued in. I just wanted to get a feel for how they will set. I still have work to do lightening up some of the parts, especially the stabilizer.



I'll add the rest of the photos in subsequent posts.
