Default RE: New Ugly Stick Biplane

I found the place to mount the aileron servos in the wings. I used my heat gun and got the area guttenhot and pressed the covering down tight before cutting away the section. it seemed loose so would suggest you do the same with an iron or gun. the doors were a perfect fit. now to figure where to bring the wires out in the center. btw I soaked the servo mounting blocks with thin ca. they are way too soft to hold the screws. I found that the control surfaces are not slotted for the ca hinges. the rudder was...but not even near the slots in the vert stab. I ordered a slotting machine from tower last night. also ordered 3 1/2" flat foam wheels and a 1 1/2 tail wheel for the grass runway. would have ordered a 1 3/4 but none had a small enough axle hole. If you have the skill build a new mounting plate for the main gear and move it forward to the firewall and epoxy in place. This is not a scale plane and it will handle a 100 times better on the ground and in landing.
