Anyone know if you can buy the triple wires used for servo leads? All I need is the wires, as the ones that came with the servo are to short! I know there are longer wings than this so there should be. Anyway, I also got the light ply mounting plate made for the servos and the door that will give me access to the servos made up. I'll attach them when I get the top spar done.


I also got the two turbulators glued onto the front of the wing. Yeah, I know. They're not really turbulators, but that's what they call them. I used a long 2x3 piece of fir to clamp them down while the glue dried. In the meantime I got out the tail feathers and sanded them to shape.


Here is the glued wing. The instructions say to attach the top spar and glue the shear webs onto the side of the spars, but I'm doing things a bit different. on this page at http://www.airfieldmodels.com it is claimed that the webs fit between the spars is stronger than when glued to the sides.it makes sense so I'm going to cut and fit each web on the center of each spar before gluing the top spar on. At the very least it will lighten the wing an itty bit because there will be a wee bit less glue and wood.
