Pic 1 is how the servo will mount in the wing. I cut 2- 1/4"x2" pine blocks. Recess them in the wing to give the servo something to mount to. I used 5 min epoxy.
Pic 2 is the rudder servo plate.I placed the plate as low as possible so to keep the pull pull wires stright. I will then build a plate for the 2 elevator servos directly behind the rudder plate ,only slightly higher so the push rods just clear the rudder servo. I think 2 standard servos will work fine on the elevator halves.
Pic 3 shows everything primmed. I used a 2 part auto primer.
Pic 4,5, & 6 shows a close up shot of the detail on this plane. As you can see when the primer is applied , you can see all the imperfections . But don't worry. Nearly all fiberglass type kits will have this. The folks @ G & L Hobbies do a super job of fiberglassing and there was not much puttying to do .
Pic 7,8, & 9 Shows all the glass puttied up and ready to sand off. I went to the auto parts store and bought a tube of spot putty which works great for filling in all the small pin holes.
