RE: Sickle (V-2)
A half-hour here and a half-hour there and the work gets done.
Today I had a short time this morning to do something so I started soldering up the 4 wire servo extension for the stab servos. I don't know precisely how long it will be - since it depends upon the receiver location - so I will not solder on the male ends until a little farther along in the assembly. I have a couple of normal 40-inch extensions and I will compare weights when done.
Also put in the rudder control horns with Aeropoxy. I used medium CA on the others because there was a lot of contact area within the control surface slots, but these rudder horns had to be trimmed off since they butted up against each other. I got as much glue in there as I could and I hope they hold. That's a lot of stress for such a small area.
Some guys (and some of you!) have done some pretty trick designs and installations with the battery tray. However, I think I'll keep it simple with just a well-secured plate of some sort and some Velcro straps.
