First time builder.... questions
jalusa,
I've just finished my Avistar and ran across the same issues:
- Yes, you'll find steps here and there that are already completed (I remember noting that to myself 2 or 3 times at least). Just verify that a given step is really done and check it off.
- I agree with JohnBuckner. However, I did do quite a bit of trimming in the aileron servo cavity with a dremel tool to make room for my servos (Futaba S3001's) and their wires.
- On the hinges, also agreed. Additionally, be sure to push the aileron, elevator and rudder in snug before applying CA. Then, when applying the THIN CA, bend the joint and let gravity take several drops down into the crevice and onto the hinge. The hinge will suck up the CA like a sponge and set INSTANTLY (no time to wiggle or adjust). After a few seconds start bending the control surface back a forth to loosen it up and your all set.
