Wow, not much left on my list now. I need to fully reassemble the plane now, and get an idea of the weight and to check where I'm balanced at. I've got a lot of weight stuffed forward of the CG, so I'm hoping I won't have to add too much dead weight

Does anyone know where to buy long Allen wrench sets? It's gonna be a B1t€# to get to my screws...

One last addition to the cowl...at least until I commit to cutting the gun troughs

Had to make one to reach my cowl screws. Cut a hex key off and solder or epoxy the piece into an appropriate size brass tube; drill a hole in the end of a short piece of wood dowel and glue the other end of the tube into it to get a better grip. You can get a 13'' extension this way, quick and easy. This works well for screws that are tightened "firmly" but don't need to be "gorilla tight"!

Nice progress on the plane, Casey...have been following all your updates regularly.

Here's mine along with my "detals kit". It's the box that shrink tubing comes in from Harbor Frieght. Two for one...you get the tubing and a handy box for all of the removable guns, pitot tubes and antenna masts so your wire doesn't get all tangled up!

im really pretty happy with how it's turned out. I was actually just going through you thread.

Nice Job Casey,

I really like it. Maybe just a little tooooooo clean but very very nice off of the assembly line representation.

Thanks!

Yeah, I need to weather it a bit, and I will. I also have all the nomenclature to do. She's not done quite yet but very close.

I was able to weigh everything, and I'm coming in at just under 28lbs RTF. I have to check the balance and perhaps move my RX batts back as I'm pretty sure that I'm nose heavy.

Ok, so I've been trying to finish up with a few things that needed attention...

First, I added the "Safe start" switch. This disables the throttle channel, but allows you to check all other controls. Once you hold the button down for three seconds it arms the throttle and you ready to fly. This is a must have guys! Safety made simple!

I cut the Yellow aircraft spinner to fit the Falcon 24/10 prop, drilled,and tapped baseplate

I wasn't happy with my internal rudder controls.

It was too weak at center, so I removed the control rod, and placed the servo in the tail. After installing a control horn in the rudder, I finished off with 4/40 rod and it's solid now. This did cause me to have to cross my control wires to steering as the servo is positioned 180 degrees from its prior mount.

I added small magnets for the mast, and added the cable to tail.
