Did you add right, or left thrust? Up or down thrust? Thanks.

Status: offline 		Great thread, thanks guys.

I'm building my CA 27% right now, almost done with fuse.

Although not new to building kits, this is my first giant scale and first gasser. I'm sure I'll be asking many more questions with regards to equipment set up when the time comes, hope you don't mind.

I made a mistake with the floor/servo tray. I epoxied it to the bottom of the fuse rather than inside the fuse. How bad is this going to affect equipment installation you think?
(Lesson learned: never drink and build. I came home late one night from the neighbor's after one too many cocktails and thought it'd be a fine idea to get a little work done - I wasn't thinking, just gluing - oops.)

Also, Steve - I noticed that your gas (or smoke) lines wrap back around the wing tube - what's the purpose of having that much gas tubing?

Thanks.
Bob

Status: offline 		Bob, You made me laugh pretty good. You must have had a heck of a time getting it to fit. You will have to make a new one now, or just run a new piece of ply across the center with a servo cutout in it. You will need to re-inforce the bottom on the forward and aft with some 1/4 by 1/4 birch if you do that.

I wrap the vent line around the wing tube to prevent the fuel, or smoke oil, from draining out on downlines or slow inverted flight. It can make a mess and take away from flight and smoke time. Feel free to add some photos. I know Gleb need some of the wing fitting process. But "NOT" if your looooped again .lol

I made myself laugh pretty good too the next day. I'll run some ply on the inside of the fuse and reinforce with something aittle harder than balsa for the rudder servo.


I'll post some pics soon.

Looks like you are almost ready to start covering. Keep up the good work.

Bob, glad to see you went with the Taurus for power. You are going to like that motor and it fits good too.

AndresAM, Let us know how the test flight goes.
