RE: Aztech / Slipstream RV-8 30cc assembly
Got the firewall drilled and the engine hung so I can mark the firewall for the throttle linkage. The elevator servos and rudder servo are installed, along with the horizontal surfaces and rudder. The canopy on this thing is HUGE. The fuselage is cavernous as well. The holes for the wing bolts are between the wing tube and a former making it a bit tight for larger fingers. The supplied wing bolts are metric (as is the rest of the hardware) and of the thumb-screw type. I went ahead and painted the aluminum gear to match the bottom of the fuselage. The supplied axles are just the right length and don't need to be shortened in order for the wheel pants to fit. There appears to be no fuel-proofing on the motor box/firewall area, so I'll give it a coat of thinned epoxy once the linkage holes are drilled. Here's some more pics.
