Status: offline 		elevator halves roughed out and then sanded to fit. it was suggested to me to use separate servos for each elevator half so used aileron strip linkage on each half.

Status: offline 		construction on the fuse beginning with the front end. i had to make a couple of new firewall support pieces since the RCV required the firewall to be located about 1/2" more forward. here is construction of the firewall box and mid-fuselage/wing cradle balsa slabs.
i had to lower the 1/8" ply fuel tank floor about 1/2" due to the metal back plate used to mount the engine. i will wait to permanently mount the firewall until i get the muffler extension i want to use to make sure everything fits as planned.

Status: offline 		here the top formers on the rear fuselage. and the rear saddle support pieces. these pieces were a little tricky to put in because they really don't "lock" into anything as it looks on the plan. right now they are still just tacked because i need to complete the tailwheel support bracket and glue that in between these pieces before permanently gluing everything in.

Status: offline 		tailwheel construction. i'm using 3/32" piano wire with two pieces of brass tubing as shims/axles. i soldered on a washer to the largest of the brass axles which is placed on the "inside" next to the upward turn in the piano wire preventing the tire from rubbing on the piano wire. on the outside of the axle, my plan is to drill a hole in the brass tubing and insert a cotter pin which holds the tire on but still allows for changes if necessary. i'm also going to grind down the washer to just large enough to hold the tire. still looking for a suitable cotter pin. i'm following BT's plans for the tailwheel bracket.
