Seems you want to make your life difficult. LOL Go to page 586, post number 14638. I posted a pic of my elevator setup (bottom left). I mounted them in the luggage compartment and it worked out great. The servo tray is removable to allow me to work on them should the need arise.

Best regards to all.

 Your comments and the photos gave me the answer I needed, but not neccessarly wanted to hear. That's a lot of pinked tape! I may have to order some more! 

Thanks for your reply.

Do I see a Bird Dog behind your kit?  Whose kit is it. Or is it an ARF.

Status: offline 		Dan:

Here are a couple of pictures of my struts mounted.  I installed a 1/4" AC plywood mounting plate at points in the fuselage structure where the bent wire struts slip into the grooves in the hardwood blocks provided in the kit.  The elevation of the bottom of the plate is the same as the tops of the grooves for the wires.  Because I build "hell for stout", I installed 1/8" lite ply gusset plates from the top of the strut mounting plate to the back of the firewall.  I used #10 cap screws through t-nuts to attach the struts to the plywood plate.  Overall this scheme added about 1 pound to the total weight of the airplane.  But as I have said previously, at 19 pounds dry, my WACO "does not know it is heavy".  With my DLE 30 at half throttle, it lifts off the runway about 15 feet after the tail comes up, and it absolutely floats when landing.  My best landings have been "dead stick".

Thanks for the pictures that’s kind of what I had in mind. I have glued in the ¼ ply and started to patch in the sheeting up to the gear not sure how I will frame in on top of the gear yet any suggestions? Will post pictures soon.

Dan:  There are several early posts that include photos of sheeting the struts.  I suggest you go to page 1, scroll down to "aluminum sheeting", and click through the messages listed.

Some pics of my centre wing with fuel tank detail.

Going to prime the parts with the covering and then a light sand and it's all ready for final coat.

Thanks for your words of praise. Please understand that my comments about your elevator servo were to offer genuine help, not to have a difference of opinion or to criticise. I post on this forum to maybe help someone in their building endeavours, and to learn from others. I have been humbled by what I have learned from people like yourself, Stickbuilder, tMac and many others on this and many other forums. I love this hobby passionately and have met some wonderful people in both the real and the cyber world and do not wish to upset anyone.

Regards to all

Lordie, buried back in the pages is a how to on building your own radial engine. You can do it for the sixth scale just as easily. It takes an evening or so to build it, but you can say that you did it yourself.

Edit: the how to with pictures is found on page 299.
