Default RE: Don Smith Cessna T-50

Guys...I've been finishing up the Songbird! Just finished replacing all of the flat servo leads with twisted leads. Not for RFI issues but for cross-talk issues. When ever the electrically actuated gear would travel up or down, the throttle servo's and aileron servo's would have a case of the jitters...jitters cured! I also replaced the ignition modules. So the throttle servos are mechanically set up exactly the same, kill switch worked, gear goes up and down and ailerons and flaps operate successfully as well! So since everything but the rudder and elevator servos are in the wing...most everything has been "shop tested". Once I revise the rudder and elevator servos, I'll take her out to the field and "wet test everything...motors running, gear up and down, range check...maybe even a high speed taxi...all that stuff. Hopefully everything will go correctly...takes 2 trips to get her out there! Here are 2 photos of the right engine...not quite as busy as Rich's though!
