Almost finished with the wings.
Today I soldered the extension wires onto the servos, fed them through the holes in the wing ribs and screwed in the servos. A drop of CA on the sheeting at the root holds the wires straight. I didn't bother with the soda straw trick, this looks Just as clean and I didn't have to figure out how I was going to solder the extensions on through the straws, as the joint is about halfway along the line (I couldn't find any straws wide enough for the three wires anyway
). I also installed a locating pin on the root rib to keep the two wings from twisting Re: to each other and sheeted the root section. Lastly I planed/sanded the 'leading edge' of the cambflexers. I'm going to use a 'UltraCote hinge' to hold them on the wing.
P.S. Is there a 'accepted standard' for soldering XT-60 connectors, like negative @ the pointy edge or something like that?
