Horizontal stabs took a little more effort but still not bad. Hardest part was having to cut down the servo arms since mine where to long. You will want about a 3/4 inch servo arm. These give lots of torque and resolution. I had to trim the fuselage back a little to get decent throw.

Took a break from servos and painted the bomb bays. They look sweet!

yes 6mm OD sorry

Tail section almost ready to install for the last time. When everyone gets theirs make sure to tie wrap the wires for the stabs and rudders so when you remove and install the horizontal stabs you don’t pinch a wire installing them.

On 🔥

the walls should be ok. My old one got nice and weathered from the exhaust their. Pretty sure this one will be the same.

Didn’t want fuel vents showing on the belly. So I took advantage of the screens installed on the belly and made hidden vents through them.



2 blocks of wood with a brass tube glued into it. They sit right on top of the screen.

No turning back now.... I cut it open.

Got hinges on. Forward hinge will just clear the fuel tank. Going to be allot of fun installing a servo for it though.

I also cut the hatch latches off! I hate hatch latches. They ruin the plane. So I will be trying to come up with a hidden latch system. I have something in mind but not sure if it will work. We will see.

So am I understanding correctly on the vents that you will not be able to hook up an overflow/taxi tank?

Got missiles from Sean McHale at Strictlyscale! They look freaking great! Need to do a slight trim on the fins that are on the inside but fit like a glove.

Here is what I’m thinking for the ejector rack... this might change so it’s not in stone. The challenge is the only spot for a servo to operate it is from behind. So my idea is to use an old drag brace from a plane I had laying around with a hinge at the back. This way I can connect a linkage to the middle and have it function from behind.

All servos installed for wings. Took a couple evenings to get done. Pretty straight forward and easy to do. Biggest thing is to use small servo arms and strong servos for the leading edge flaps.

When i I built my skymaster F18 I think I spent almost 2 weeks getting the wings done. It was a complete cluster *uck. Spent so much time with a dremel trying to make servos fit and get wired through along with trimming the rear spar...

this is is nothing like that and is well thought out and goes together pretty smoothly.

Leading edge flap.


Covers are clear.


Aileron servo


Flap servo

Servo arms I used where to long so I had to cut them down and drill and tap them. For the ailerons and leading edge you will need about a 9/16 length servo arm from hole to hole.

After some primer.



Hidden linkages is a beautiful thing!

Servo installed for gun door. Sucked getting my big hands in their but it’s done.
