Default RE: Scale Line Models Great Lakes Trainer Build

I made some more progress. Installed the servos and pushrods. Got the cockpit hatch done. Installing the cowl was tougher than I thought it'd be. It's a clamshell and it was tough getting the top to line up to the bottom. Last thing left is final wing alignments, the interplant struts, and a bunch of sanding. Then I can cover her.

Weight as she sits now is 4 lb 3 oz., so final weight will probably be in the low 5 lbs. 3 cells at 40-45 amps should fly her nice. I wanted to use a small spinner per drawing, but there's no way to get a 14" prop into a 1.5" spinner.
