RE: AMR Trainer 26
Todays goal was to get the tail feathers built....and I did get them done. One problem I ran into was the vertical fin extends over the top of my rear hatch. Oh well, poor planning on my part as I never thought to check. I don't know if I should cut it or not. I don't know if it adds strength to the vertical fin, or if it's just cosmetic. Also I installed hard points ( 3/8" dowel ) for the mounting of the control rods. I built the elevators figuring to use 2 servos. The servo holes are already cut from the kit maker, in the rear of the fuse, but the fuselage is so narrow in that area that you can't install them back to back. I'm thinking of moving them up towards the front where there is more width to install them. This would allow me to put the rudder servo in one of the existing cutouts. After the following pictures were taken I sanded/shaped the leading edges of the tail feathers and rounded the other sides of the tail group. lumpy
