Hey guys,
Here are a few more pictures of some of the inner workings of this BEAST
The aileron servo installation is a bit challenging as you need to make a LOOOOOONG philips screwdriver to access servo screws.
There are other ways as well, like combining the long driver with a short 90 degree Chapman tool.
The flap servos are considerably easier to install, BUT HEY - IF you want SCALE LOOKS, sacrifices must be made!
WHO wants ugly servos and linkages hanging out in the breeze, detracting the eyes from all the surface detail "eye candy?"
NOT EYE!
The Sierra gear are gorgeous and robust, as are the scale rims and tires.
Nothing has been terribly difficult to install, yet. Of course, one man's difficulty is another man's challenge...
Even the gear door cylinder is a piece of cake (if you follow my instructions
)
Manual is up to 53 pages, but still plenty more to go. I would anticipate a completion date of 45 days from now.
