RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD
Well I have been working on my wing covering this weekend, and as I was getting ready to cover the bottom of the left wing I thought I would go ahead and set up the aileron servo installation only to discover a small problem. It seems that when I installed the CF tubes in the wings it cuts down on the available room for the servo. In order to solve this problem I moved the rear servo hatch mount closer to the trailing edge by the width of the mount which solved the first problem but created a new one. Now the servo will fit between the CF tube and the rear mount but the depth of the rib caused me to have to massage the servo mounting blocks until there was enough clearance to fit the servo between the top and bottom wing sheeting. A little sanding here, a little sanding there and all is well. Oh, and I had to notch the rear hatch mount to clear the servo mount block.

PS- I also laid out and cut out the fuselage sides for a Taurus. It gives me something to do while waiting for glue to set up on the Simla.
