Status: offline 		OK here at  http://rcaircraft-specialties.com/ I'm starting a new build for a customer
it is a SKYMASTER HAWK 100. It will have some nice equipment in it including the new POWERBOX IGYRO!
so I will post pictures and tips here. I am also following the BVM Upgrades as listed in their upgrade manual
Starting with the flap install.. This just takes patience and skills with a Dremel ! ( how could we build awsome planes without a DREMEL????)

and all of the accordian doors work smoothly!

Status: offline 		Equipment trays in progress, the front tray is supplied by Skymaster, the rear one I fabricated
These are mounted low so there is room to mount equipment under the cockpit tubs!
the front one will be for the Powerbox + rx batteries. The rear one for the Turbine support stuff
These have been primed with light gray auto primer

it works fine but might need some restrictors
in the airline to make it move at a more scale speed...

JR HV servos, but doable.. 1 wing done #2 in process.
No room here to use SWB or similar arms without requiring
opening up the bottom wing surface ( no-no)

Status: offline 		Elevator servo install. I put the fuse in a "0-0" position using an incidence meter
Then I positioned the stab at "0-0" using that meter. Once established I set the servos
at neutral and that enabled me to locate and drill the locator holes for the servos..
this results in a nice tight and slop free install...

Nice job George. Is that Tailormade MDC install pdf. from the BVM addendum? I wish I had that when doing my CARF Hawk canopy. I'm surprised they put that on the outside. It's pretty delicate.

I was wondering if Skymaster has locating marks on the fuse where the tank gets mounted.

Mine is on the outside too. I would prefer it to be on the inside, but it's held up after a year.
