Default RE: DerJet DH Vampire build thread-

Looking Good Dave.
Work has continued on Eric's Plane. You can see in the photos below I removed the steering servo mount and moved the servo to the front side of the bulkhead.
This made for room to install the UAT up front and under the cockpit.
Since we will have a sliding Canopy I installed the air valve close so we can have short runs for air line to the canopy.
Also we are using a Smart Fly EQ10. I love these things. Its like having 10 matchboxes in your plane.
The wood the air valve and solenoids is mounted to serves as a stop for the tanks to keep them from sliding forward.
We have an EV5U mounted under the left side of the box under the cockpit and the Fuel pump and smoke pump will be mounted under the right.
I am trying to keep as much stuff in the nose of the plane as possible to reduce the nose weight we will need.
More to come soon.
