Default RE: Sig King Kobra Build

More pictures.

I used Sullivan #517 pushrods for the rudder and elevator so a little modification was in order. I left part of the upper fuselage open to install supports for the pushrods against the bulkheads and to help guide the rods into place. For the elevator pushrod I had to make another bulkhead and install it near the tail end.

I had an error in calculations that led to the removal of the inner section of my original pushrod retainer that was glued to the front of bulkhead F-4. That is the reason that F-4 appears to not fit well near the top surface, against the 45 degree balsa corner pieces; it’s not the real F-4 bulkhead.
