RE: AMR Trainer 26
I'm back! Much more done since the last post. I'm glad I added a rear hatch into the fuse. It allowed me to gain access to the bottom of the vertical fin and reinforce it with wood pins. Also allows me to get at the servo wires where they'll attach to the extensions....which I'm waiting for to come in from Servo City. You can see by the pics that I've installed flying wires. I'm using a servo for each elevator half. I decided not to go with a pull-pull on the rudder and installed the servo in the tail. I need to put an on/off/charging jack under the front hatch yet. I want to wait and see where the cg comes in at before installing. Also am going to wait as to where I'm going to put the receiver battery and what size for balancing. I've been working on polishing the landing gear. It looks like it was cut on a water jet and the edges were rough. Also the front sides had clamp marks in them from being bent in a press, and stress marks in the bends. I massaged them out with rubbing them with a file in a cross wise direction and then sanded and polished with scotch brite pads. Aluminum polish is next. My biggest part to do yet is cover the wings. I have until Monday to get er done. Tuesday is my clubs "Beauty Contest" and I want to have it entered.lumpy
