Default RE: Phoenix 6 - Start # 2

Work in Progress. Two more full days here, I am slow, but deliberate in the rigging process. Spring Airs, used, you can see the NG modified a little for clearance. I have some gold anodized paint, was going to match up with the gear frame, got lazy on that, still works fine. A small board piece with grommet, will exit air tubes and aileron leads, L&R, it will mount in front of servo board. The NG air line brought out the front space, this is the tank floor, did not want to have the tubing in the tank area. A large Robart air tank is on board, behind the servo board. I was going to use phonelic board here, but last thought, more sourcing, the ply is fine. I have established some meat under the servo screws, so they are not just on the 1/8"ply. More later, should get this bird finished, take some pictures by the pool, if we get some sunshine. Set up for Sullivan R-12. The spinner on the picture here, looks like it is not fit correct. It is, I just slid it on, a little hanging crooked there, when bolted up, all even, and very close to the nose.
One more picture, P-6 #1. I am going to do two more P-8's. One I am resurrecting, a thread started on it already, and the other one, all brand new, start from scratch. That may be it on glass and foam birds, going to build something out of wood after that.
