So after some arctic super cold 🥶 ,back to the tail section,the wooden doles are to have same distance for the carbon fiber rods when glued to elevators they must be done like this both elevators on the same time with the rods press on the same time don’t glue the rods separate to elevators one the side they will not fit correctly .

So today I was working on the wings plumbing and servo cables,to do this job right and easy you need a strong earth magnet 🧲 and mechanic lost washers type magnet 🧲 this will help and it’s the only easy way to do this job right and not go super nuts trying out,please look at the pictures and try to puzzle them out they don’t upload in order just one of the rcuniverse upgrade😁.

So not much today just fished some power cables for the rx and turbine ecu ,the 12 gauge for the ecu and 14 gauge for the rx ,they need to be made the ones I have from aviation design are way to short 💩 so not so happy about spending the money on something that doesn’t work.

So the jet is finished and will wait for the maiden flight probably until spring, so the best part is that I achieved the perfect CG with no extra weights in front just batteries.

thats great to hear! I’m waiting on some lead to complete the final CG. Could you share your dry Weight ( only the UAT full with all flight batteries installed). I really want one to compare my build too!
