Default RE: Bates 106

Planning stage (cont)

The short kit was laid out on their respective places on the plans.
F-12 stood out as missing: nothing major that can't be made.
Laying out the parts will get me processing a procedure for building as well as if any parts need aircraft ply, re-enforcement, etc.
The wing ribs have tabs on the TE to hold them level but I didn't see any riser for wash out, which I'll be adding if the tabs do not provide it. The flaps and ailerons are built separately from the main wing.
The plans show a U shaped wire connecting the flaps: I'll be putting a servo on each flap.
The elevator servos will probably be located either in the horizontal stab or tail of the fuse.
The normal servo will protrude out the bottom of the stab so, something to think about.
There were a few parts that I haven't figured out where they go, yet.
