Default RE: FEJ Large Hawk

AT this stage, I think I got a bit carried away with the build and actually saw an opportunity of having the model ready for the weekend. With that in mind, I got a little lapse with the camera work... Sorry.
There was not much else to explain on the rudder really. Certainly nothing to mention that the superb manual does not cover. I filed a flat on the rudder rod where the double alu arm attaches, and made sure everything was loctite'd. Making sure there was as little play in the linkage as possible. I have to admit, I am a little disappointed that the rudder is such a chore to remove. It is possible but involves the tailpipe coming out which is a pain. Not a major snag to most, but it would make transport easier if the rudder was quicker to remove.
